Hey there fellow adventurers! It’s been a hot minute since my last post – full time job, side hustles…ugh. Anyway, the Sidekick and I are getting prepared to visit Acadia National Park in Maine this weekend! In the meantime, here is a new video I made of rafting the Royal Gorge Stretch of the ArkansasContinue reading “Rafting the Royal Gorge, CO, 2018”

Whitewater Rafting the Deerfield River, MA, Sept 2018.
Another super fun rafting trip! You can read more about this trip here! This is a dam release river in a pretty cute spot in central Massachusetts (who’d have though there would be mountains and whitewater rafting in Massachusetts????). The rafting company is Crab Apple Whitewater. Being a dam release river, it starts off prettyContinue reading “Whitewater Rafting the Deerfield River, MA, Sept 2018.”
Section IV Chattooga River, GA, June 2018
A 10 minute (I know…it was hard to narrow down the hour or so of footage I had from a 7 hour rafting trip even just to this) highlight reel of rafting the Chattooga, Section IV in Clayton, GA. This was a mainly class IV and V run on this day. We used Southeastern ExpeditionsContinue reading “Section IV Chattooga River, GA, June 2018”

Just outside of Clayton, GA on the GA/SC border lurks a whitewater enthusiast’s gem: The Chattooga River, filming site of the movie Deliverance and site of some of the best whitewater in the eastern part of the country.

Colorado. Salida/Great Sand Dunes National Park/Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park/Telluride/Denver. July 2019
National Parks Counter: 11, 12 Right off the bat, this is probably one my favorite trips, so far. I was with the Sidekick, we saw 2 national parks, almost every area of the state, and did LOTS OF COOL SHIT. Stops included: a wolf rescue, Great Sand Dunes National Park, whitewater rafting in Buena Vista,Continue reading “Colorado.

Solo trip to MA and VT, Sept 2018
This was my last trip of 2018! If you read the previous entry on my June trip to Colorado you may recall that one was supposed to be my first ever solo trip. It was half solo, so this one became my first full solo trip. Now you may think to yourself what is soContinue reading “Solo trip to MA and VT, Sept 2018”
Colorado. Rocky Mountain National Park/ Boulder/Denver/Colorado Springs. June 2018
National Park Counter: 6 First of all, I logged in today and see that I have likes and views! If you all see this, thank you!

Clayton, GA/Asheville, NC. June 2018
In early June, my troupe and I (3 humans and 2 dogs) crammed into an old Rav 4 and headed up ten or so hours to Northeast Georgia. Why you might ask? Well, my best friend’s old dog was ill and she wanted to do a last hurrah with the pup, so that meant aContinue reading “Clayton, GA/Asheville, NC. June 2018”
Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017
National Park Counter: 5 SUPER AWESOME TRIP. This was my first “major” trip: furthest I have ever been away from home base, longest ever flight, probably the most different spot I have been to, and the place with the most “things” I have ever done on a vacation. This is a lengthy post, and IContinue reading “Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017”
