We are Liz Rocco and Tim Rogers. Chances are, if you’ve made it this far, you already know a bit about us. If you’re finding this on your own, welcome. I’ll be short with introductions, this is a blog about our lives through our actions, and I hope it will speak for who we are and what we care about better than I ever could. We are mountain people with a passion for life, embracing simplicity and fostering ecological responsibility.
We’ve made the decision to forgo the culture of cars and experiment maintaining our mobility by bicycle. Will it still be possible to climb and enjoy the mountains we’re so passionate about? We’ll see. For the summer of 2012 we’ve moved to Leavenworth, the Bavarian town of Washington. We’re here because of the towns close proximity to endless cragging and alpine wilderness. We’ve got no car, but will do the majority of our recreating under 100% human power, bicycling, hiking and climbing in this beautiful area of the Cascades.
The reasons for our lifestyle choices are numerous and, I believe, obvious. I’ll spare the rant for another time, but suffice it to say, we are two people who don’t believe in the current paradigm of fossil fuel, fast food, and waste. We want to experiment with our mobility, while helping to foster a closer and more balanced relationship with Earth. Let us know what you think, or just enjoy our words and pictures.
