Pete and Jess’ group of Coast to Quebecers were helping out at the Coastal Mountain Land Trust today — picking up where Corley and Andy’s group left off yesterday. They spent their “off” day hiking up a mountain, hauling signage. This is all part of a strategy to make tomorrow’s hills seem smaller — social
All the way over on the shores of Puget Sound, Mike and Annie’s Northwest Explorers enjoyed a great first night together (replete with an epic game of “Giants, Wizards & Elves” (how come these groups all play games I’ve never heard of?)) and shoved off today for Olympic National Park. They’ll be doing a combination
This is likely to be another Two-Part Tuesday, as we have a lot of pictures from across the country to fit in to today’s blog – a surprising number of which involve either the sunrise or the sunset. The sun never sets on the Apogee empire – at least figuratively. Speaking of the empire, we’re
How about a virtual round of applause for our celebrity guest blogger? None other than Kevin Cashman was steering you around the wide world of Apogee yesterday — and if you ask me, he did a terrific job. So much so that I think we should see more of him in the blog — don’t

Another busy day around the Apogee horn, friends. No trip starts today, but all sorts of movement around these United States related to our humble trips. To the field! On the Cape, both of our groups are, as I type, done with the bike-riding portion of their trip. Lucas, Danika and their group powered up
Well, Dear Reader, my “desh-tiny” line from yesterday fell a little flat at home — my wife has threatened to move out unless I tone down the cheese factor in this blog. What’s that bumper sticker? “Man, I’m gonna miss her” — or something like that? Because cheese, friends, is the only thing I know
Another day, another destiny. So sings Jean Valjean (actually when he sings it on my parents’ recording, it sounds much more like “another day, another desh-tiny…”). And indeed, here in the Intergalactic HQ, those words ring true every day during the summer. Kevin and I had the always pleasant experience of being present for another
Is this blog the right place to comment on a National League win in the All-Star Game? What other Laws of the Universe are up for re-writing this week? Ohhh, you want to know about Apogee trips. Apologies. OK — to the matter at hand! We started up the third, yes, third, iteration of our
Ahh, summer. Unfolding in refulgent splendor all around us! Let us soak in the deep greens of summer time and store them away for the iron grey of February! OK — Emersonian rhapsodizing done for the day — let’s get down to business. Here at Apogee Intergalactic HQ, we are in the briefest of summer
