A personal blog of our amateur adventures.
Mostly involving tents.
Gifts
Thank you for visiting our site! We like to document our adventures to share with our families and to help us remember the details of life that are so easily forgotten with time. We recently got married on Pi Day and had a small ceremony with family.
We are looking forward to celebrating again in May in Pennsylvania with even more family and friends! We are so blessed to have balance with our work and free time, and the means to travel, that we don’t need or expect any gifts. However, if you feel so compelled, we have set up an adventure fund below. Thank you and excited to see you all soon!

We returned from our four day/ three night backpacking trip yesterday. Today my body feels stiff and the world outside of the woods feels like a haze.

The next day, we went on Moores Knob loop trail. Along the way, we looked at the boulders and wondered if we would be able to climb them and how they would be graded.
Meeting family in PA
It was a rough week before the trip to PA. I sprained my ankle in the front yard while taking out the garbage and then got a flat tire on my way to work on Friday.
Old Rag Mountain
Old Rag is such a fun (type 2) and interesting hike. There are so many other hikes in Shenandoah that I’d like to explore. With these short trips, it’s hard to make time to do others.
