This Year’s Fall Color
It’s been a great fall in my opinion. The colors haven’t been as vibrant but the temperatures have been absolutely fantastic. It really felt like someone just flipped the switch from excessive heat to comfortable crispiness. Three weekends in a row I was able to get out and chase the change. Weekend one was essentially… Read More This Year’s Fall Color
In the Shadows of the Night: A Chilling Ozark Campfire Story
I’ve spent a lot of time in the outdoors in my life. Both of my parents had me camping and traveling since day one.

Indiana Dunes: America’s 61st National Park
Our country’s newest National Park (our 61st), the Indiana Dunes on the southern shore of Lake Michigan really does not disappoint. In 1966 it was designated as a National Lakeshore and now has been designated as National Park. In my eyes it is absolutely worth a visit. It may not have the awe-inspiring views of… Read More Indiana Dunes: America’s 61st National Park
Success Is All About Perspective: Traveling the Ozarks & Finding Inspiration
24 hours, 473 miles, rain, more rain, muddy roads and Missouri mills, night skies and waterfalls. We drove a section of the original Trail of Tears, finding some new camp spots and backroads along the way.

Back to Minnesota: Photo Workshop/Overland Expedition
A quick recap of last week’s trip back home. Rock climbers at Palisade Head kicked off the trip. Star-filled skies in Hovland during sub-freezing nights.

Tagging along was my first… Read More Back to Minnesota: Photo Workshop/Overland Expedition
