As a local Oregonian, I grew up camping with my family and spending a lot of time outdoors, swimming in the creek behind my house, and catching snakes and frogs. Nothing sounds better, feels better or makes the world better to me then sitting in the woods, by a lake or river or at the beach. With my buddy (dog) Franklin, we try to take at least one outdoor adventure a week and explore the beautiful place we are fortunate to live.
