Long time no see on here. But I did go to Congaree NP last weekend. Glad this area was saved from logging!

Another #youtube video drop - this one is a long one! I show you one of my most favorite areas on Mountain Island Lake!

I do some fishing too but couldn’t catch a thing!

One cool spotting from my Oak Island beach trip was this #cannonball jelly. These creatures were everywhere on the beach and in the tide. Floating with the current.

The poor jellies who got beached are tasty snacks for other wildlife!

Did a little exploring on my bike in the Lake Norman area and found this cool spot. Need to paddle board here!

I had to zoom 4x to try to get a good shot, so I'm impressed that this clip came out as clearly as it did. Here's my lunchtime #fishing buddy. I think we both got skunked.

If you don't spend at least half of your time on the river watching the wildlife, what are you even doing with your time?

Paddle boarding was a success yesterday! I used a cooler this time as a seat/storage place. It worked well, but would totally come open and spill all my stuff out if I fell.😬

So maybe new cooler time?

Here’s a good video to relax with. Spoiler alert: lots of pebble crunching noise as I walk on the beach!

Come explore Torrey Pines in #sandiego on this quick #YouTube video I made.

I’ve been kinda quiet lately, but that’s because I’m at the Tableau Conference in San Diego! Of course I also took time to explore.

Check out Torrey Pines State Preserve below.

I attempted my first YouTube video! Amateur videography skills but going to get better.

Hoping to showcase more beautiful places and maybe take you on some adventures.

I think I’m going to plan a long camping trip soon and get away from it all. (I wish)

Just got back from old NC 105. What a stunning place in western North Carolina.

Hopefully the video below is calming.
