Cross country travel is always full of surprises, it's hard to really foresee where one might end up on any road trip really. When my friend Bill and I traveled across the United States to Portland, Oregon to attempt to climb Mount Hood. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not kind to us and we had to
Returning to Scandinavia After some planning and consideration it looks like I'll be heading back to Iceland this year, and in addition, I will be continuing on to Norway to explore a whole new country, and Emalee will be joining me to help build memorable and exciting content for all to enjoy. Tentatively we plan
Driving across the country is like a rite of passage for many people, I know it was for me. I've done it on two separate occasions and each time it was a special experience in it's own way. Both times with the same person and one of my best friends, but each time a new
It's been a few weeks since i've posted a Signs of Adventure, and I apologize for that, but we are back, this week with a sign from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis and it's exhibit are pretty remarkable because it's last mission was STS-135 which happened to be the last flight of NASA's shuttle

While I was exploring Iceland earlier this year, we spent a day in the northern town of Akureyri. I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I was especially excited when we decided to stay at Akureyri Backpackers Hostel. The rooms were cheap (about 30 US dollars a night) and the atmosphere was welcoming.
For years, I have wanted to visit Canyonlands National Park. There is some sort of magical allure to the desert that is undeniable. Utah has always been a place that I loved to visit, especially the area near Moab. I only had a day to spend in Canyonlands, but there is so much that can
There is no doubt that I do some wacky stuff when I am traveling, and this is no exception. Last year while on a cross country trip to Oregon with my friend Bill, we stopped at various state welcome signs and climbed them. Here, Bill is summiting the sign on the South Dakota state line.
Happy Thanksgiving! For all those celebrating, have a happy and safe holiday, and don't eat too much! Nelson Crag Trail Hiking in New England has always been a special experience for me, or at least for the past few years. Mount Washigton in New Hampshire is a place I have gone to year after year
