Last weekend’s adventure.

I was reminded today of my visit to Shenandoah National Park in May 2016. It was intended to be a birthday trip for @jennifermarie1915, though we arrived to find a very foggy park.

Wish I could be transported back to summer to float down the Buffalo National River. It looked so inviting during our last visit, but we only had a couple of hours available—too short for a paddle.

We’re picking some new photos for our living room wall this week, and this aerial shot from Gates of the Arctic National Park has made the cut. We had had no idea how amazing flightseeing in remote Alaska would be until this day—my first significant exposure to bush planes in the backcountry. Holy shit it did not disappoint!

Still missing being up on Montana, where I finished my Treasured Places quest, comprised of the 478 specially-protected public lands in the country. Check out treasuredplaces.us for more on how you adopt the quest too.

It's been awhile since i've planned a trip to Arizona's "West Coast." It's probably time to change that... [launches calendar app to look for appropriate weekends]
