ABOUT ME There is no satisfied life in the city without excursions to the great outdoors. Nearly all of my recreational travel is for the purpose to the see the outdoors. And while most of my travels are purely domestic to the United States, the older I get and the more I mature, I'm sure my ventures will take me abroad. PHILOSOPHY No such thing as bad weather, just bad gear.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Jumped from the bed of a moving truck onto the hood of a trailing car. I remember telling the driver of the Nissan Sentra, "Don't turn on the wipers." It was 1999, I was in college.
