Photography, Fun, and Adventure in the U.S.
We completed a truly historic road trip in June, 2023. We traveled from our little hilltop in eastern Washington to Denver, to the largest, most comprehensive, and truly eclectic psychedelic conference, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit working to raise awareness and understanding of psychedelic
Nature is healing, and while we live in nature on our beautiful hilltop, it’s always fun to explore new areas — and to actually just rest and enjoy; when we’re home, we’re often working on the health of our forest… and there should always be time for play! It’s kind
This blog post starts a series in which we will be sharing a crazy summer of travel — most of it for spending time in nature and/or with people we love. Self-care is essential and time in nature is one of our healing modalities. Our spring is quickly moving into
Well, I guess you could say we’ve been pretty busy the last year and a half — finishing the house construction, managing our forestland, and working in various jobs and volunteering. No excuse, but we really had no time for the blog. We feel a little badly, as we have

It was a bit risky given the current circumstances and panic over Covid-19, but we were determined to make a quick dash into Virginia and end this 2.5-year road trip as planned, albeit a few weeks early… visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park before turning westward and
Our return to Georgia started out uneventfully, with a wonderful visit to Columbus, the third-largest city in the state and located near the west-central border of the state — along the Chattahoochee River (a tributary of the Apalachicola River) — about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta. Fun and crazy fact:
While we were sad leaving Cedar Key, we were also excited to continue the exploration of Florida… moving into our final phase by exploring areas of the Florida Panhandle, which is a strip of land roughly 200 miles long and 50 to 100 miles wide, lying between Alabama on the
Imagine a vista of grass and water, with a few small tree islands sprinkled about the horizon, for as far as the eyes can see… filled with waterfowl like Anhingas and Egrets as well as alligators and turtles… and you have an idea of the everglades. Florida has three national
