This year I kind of skipped out on the 4th of July. I’d already gotten my firework fix back in may at EDC. Something I have been wanting to do more frequently is to go Car Camping. It is a halfway point between backpacking and full-on RV camping. I still prefer to camp in a tent or hammock but I love the convenience of having a car to carry heavier gear and a...
My work trips this year have been rather limited so I was super excited to finally get to hit the road again. This week has me in the general area of Denver. It seemed like I got an amazing sunrise every day. I enjoyed Cherry Creek Lake park for some running. There were a lot of prairie dogs. Later on, in the week, I took a trip to Downtown Boulder to visit a really...
One of my favorite hiking areas is located is south east Ohio, about 3 hours drive from Cleveland. I was first introduced to Hocking Hills about 23 years ago on a camping trip. I’ve gone back on my one half a dozen times. In my opinion, the best time to see it is if you can catch the fall season where the leaves are changing color and the temperatures are in a...

They have Rock-hopper and African Black Footed penguins. In addition to my usual enjoyment of an aquarium I was able to secure a behind-the-scenes tour with the Penguins! The male was...
With winter break in full swing, not a great deal of travel opportunities have arisen for me over the last month. I’ve started to feel a little stir-crazy. Based on a google search of places to visit in CA, I took an impromptu road trip a few hours from the coast into the mountains. My goal was to visit Idyllwild! I started out by enjoying a drive on scenic...
I am working on the US Territory of Guam. This little island (about 20 miles long by 5-7 miles wide) is nestled in the Pacific Ocean about halfway between Australia and Japan. My trip started off perfectly with a Delta Airlines OpUp (operational upgrade: it is a situation where they oversell coach seats and upgrade frequent flyers to first class to free up inventory)...
