My father was a teacher and summertime park ranger and when I was young, I didn't completely appreciate the beauty of the outdoors where we romped and played and acted like kids. I suppose growing up in that environment, we took it for granted. Of course there was also the dad factor that made you roll your eyes at most of the things he showed us. All the same, it was always a part of my life and as I've traveled, I've gained a deeper appreciation for all of the amazing things he tried to share with us.

Now I travel with Kate, my wonderful and supportive partner of 20+ years, as we re-visit the many favorite places that we love in addition to finding exciting new locations to explore. We enjoy getting out into nature and experiencing both the exhilaration of finding out what's beyond the next corner and the peace and sense of contentment that can be found in the beauty of the outdoor world.
