Adventure
Sunday Strolls
It’s been a pretty wet and rainy weekend. But you take what you can get and since I already had campground reservations at Iron Creek in the Washington Cascades, I just rolled with it. I played around with my new tarp, worked on some various apps and web-based side projects, and just tried to enjoy […]

Thanksgiving Adventure
It’s probably the climate. Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays growing up. I think even at a young age I appreciated the simplicity and quietness of the day.

Back to Anza-Borrego
When I was younger, I was all about the new and unexplored. It still exists within me, but these days I seem to get the most enjoyment out of the known. Those pair of trees that are perfect for my hammock, that bit of road that gives just the right amount of speed to hear […]
