Feeling that Costa Rica has become too good to be true, the search for empty lineups started. While Playa Colorado is not totally empty, it is quiet, blows offshore round the clock for 330 days/year, and has a nice mix of deep reef and fast hollow beak breaks. At the edge of the jungle, monkeys and iguanas, butterflies and pelicans fill the air. The lineup is mellow, a mix of low key locals, visitors, and dodgy expats. It's worth the trip.<br />

Watching swell forecasts go by without getting wet, but content with the learning curve of a snowboard, appreciative of fresh snow, warm fires and fish burritos. Long Friday night drives deep into Vermont, alpine conifers bent with wet snow, and the familiar site of a dying barn. All of it now filed neatly into my mental slide show. Maybe just one winter, maybe a lifetime of winters, all I know now is that spring is here and so am I. Spring session in Rhode Island welcomed by sun, swell, and no crowds....<br />

I dropped into the Annisquam for an afternoon paddle at slack tide, following the tide on the ride home. Pearce Island sits alone, dotted with micro off the grid summer shacks, on the west side of the salty river. Google didn't provide much on the history of this place, so its another thing to put on the list for a rainy day...<br />

One more off the list. Saturdays weather was the perfect window to hit Mt Washington, deemed the most dangerous small mountain in the world, claiming as many lives as Denali and Rainier. Despite that, it was a pretty straightforward climb. Most of the hike is through a dense glade with well marked and broken trail. The top third is a brutal, highly exposed boulder field. The temperature dropped very quickly and the winds came out of nowhere which I suspect is what gets most hikers. Its very easy to get blown off course, and a small group of us ended up in a snowfield between trails on the way down.<br />

So we had to go check it out.This was way cooler than expected. The sport had to have been invented by bored 10 year old boys because it makes no sense to ride these things off road. Nonetheless, it was one of the best sporting events I have seen live...<br />

I was filling up the propane tank while down in Rhode Island, and struck up a conversation with the filling station guy about the mess of old bikes he had outside. Lots of rusty old, really cool bikes. I pointed out an old JC Higgins tandem, a Sears Roebuck and Co original from the late 50's, early 60's. He was really amped on old bikes and restoring them.......which then made me really amped on this idea of bringing one back to life. And so it was. A few weeks passed. I couldn't close my eyes without dreaming of sanding, and grinding, and degreasing. At the next opportunity, I found myself back at the station strapping an old rust bucket to the back of my truck.<br />
