Why I killed JustGetOutMore in favor of a more personal website

February 15, 2019
One comment

I killed off my travel and adventure blog—my so-called brand—in favor of a more personal website. This is why.

Wandered around Watson Lake today, the first time I’ve arrived without a kayak. While the Granite Dells will also hold a special place in my heart, so will paddling this lake.

Last night, we camped along the Mogollon Rim. It was our first night away since—I kid you not—the middle of January😱! Much needed, and much deserved.

With the combination of dad stuff and COVID, I totally missed any wildflower trips this year. But that doesn’t mean I can’t reflect on some of the amazing blooms we got to experience last year.

One of my favorite things is water in the desert—and specifically, saguaros near water. With the coronavirus still raging on, in spite of our desires to reopen, I see a lot of local kayaking in my future this summer. So I'm choosing to look at the bright side of things. And that means many more opportunities to see an army of saguaros cresting a ridge and sneaking down to the lake or river for a quick sip.

I’m looking forward to another early morning paddle down the Salt River tomorrow, hoping to capture another morning meal.

This was the scene early yesterday morning, several hours before our kayaks would pull ashore at this very spot. Quiet, serene, inviting.
