I've always love adventure... When the most carefully (or not so carefully) laid plans go awry and the adventurers come out with unexpected lessons learned, experiences that couldn't otherwise be taught, and a new perspective on why we participate in the sports we do. I moved from the West Virginia highlands six years ago specifically to adventure in the cascades and live on a sailboat. Since then, I've enjoyed a plethora of outdoor adventures, from winter sailing and backcountry skiing to whitewater trips through unimaginable beauty! Perhaps the greatest adventure has been watching my son explore his new world and develop skills that will see him through many beautiful places!
