The Hominid Tale

You might be wondering - "what's this Happy Hominid thing?" Well, put simply - it's us! We're the hominids and we're here to stay, at least for the moment. From our oozy beginnings in the primordial soup to our conquest of space, we hominids have seen and done a lot. We are a curious bunch and that gets us into trouble now-and-then, and sometimes we don't play nice with others. But to the core of our species is the Happy Hominid. We're happy to just be out doing what we like.

Back in college, I met this groovy dude in one of my biology classes. He was a bit older than me and I figured we didn't have much in common. Ho-ho! Not so! Turns out we had lots in common. First and foremost was our love of urban brunettes. Second, we were down with good standup comedy! But at its core, we also had a mutual love and respect for the outdoors. The mountains called and we formed a strong friendship that's lasted 14+ years now. Thru that I have explored several parts of the Pacific Northwest and continue to do so to this day. Even after my pal had moved back to Michigan and then to Arizona.

This sight is an outlet for me to share in some of my adventures here in the Pacific Northwest, rain or shine. I welcome you to share your comments with me, as well as your stories of adventure, no matter where it may be. I hope you find a piece of the Happy Hominid spirit and it inspires you to keep doing what you're doing or get out there and try something new for yourself. And don't forget the slogan: "Happy Hominid!" -Eric
