Tellico | August 20, 2005 – December 28, 2022

Today is a very sad day. We had to say our final goodbyes to Tellico (Rico) this afternoon and she will be sorely missed. She was over 17 years old and has been with me since she was a 6 week old kitten. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat all these years!

Here are a couple photos of Rico from the last few months that are currently on my phone. I might come back later and add some older photos of her at a later time.

She loved drinking ice water out of that red cup sitting on the table behind her and licking the condensation off the sides, so we always had to keep the water cold.

Moab & Tellico

She spent many hours sitting on my desk watching me plan trips and work on photos for this blog.

If I got out of my chair at the computer she would steal it from me.

She could be pretty lazy at times.

Curled up on the bed.

One of her favorite places to lay was next to Fievel on the spare bed.

Goodbye Tellico, I am really going to miss you!

I spent 75 nights in the backcountry in 2022. Here are a few photos of my campsites from throughout the year. You can find a complete list of everywhere I camped at the following link: Bag Night Challenge 2022

I’m pretty positive that I just spent my last night camping or the year this past weekend, so now it’s time to post up my final total nights spent camping throughout the year.

Photos from many of my campsites can be found here: Campsites of 2022
