A quick two-day roady to Hocking Hills State Park in southern Ohio. Bathed in the warmth of the evening glow… such a gorgeous and peaceful place.

(And a huge shout-out to the Oasis Coffee Shop for the delicious kickstart to the adventure!)

I mean… they built it….. so you should come… #IsThisHeaven

While Jonathon wanders Utah, we head north and wonder…

Are there better cheese curds than from the Old Fashioned in Madison, WI? (No.)

Did the 5-8 in Minneapolis *really* create the Juicy Lucy? (🤷🏻‍♂️)

How are these guys still alive… *and* this damn good!? 🤘🏻

Spectacular 3-day family road trip!

Continuing the southern Utah spring break barnstorm….

…the seemingly-delicate beauty of Bryce Canyon NP, panoramic views from the Cassidy Arch Trail in Capitol Reef NP, sunset from Turret Arch in Arches NP, and the vast landscapes of Canyonlands NP. Just incredible. 🥹

Home tomorrow. 😕

Canyon X of Antelope
Canyon… got the “just the right light” tour time this past summer. Such a spiritual place, especially with context shaped by our Navajo guide. #shotsinslots

A quick Spring Break(!) trek through the Mighty 5 in Utah with the fam. First stop — Zion. Was here solo 20+ years ago. Being able to share it with the family this time around is another level of “incredible”. I love the majesty of this place.

Always love good, unexpected #sunpeekingthrough moments. Something about them that just seems hopeful.

Walking around some large, fallen rocks along the Chimney Rock Trail in Capitol Reef NP… turned around… “oh.. hey..”

This conversation was enjoyed over…

*M-43 (Old Nation Brewing; Williamson, MI)

*Pinot Grigio (Albino Armani; Italy)

*Yellowstone Bourbon (Limestone Branch Distillery; Lebanon, KY)

*Orange Vanilla Cream Ale (Sun King Brewery; Indianapolis, IN)

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

Oh thank goodness… I was worried that you *weren’t* going say “Queen/Navajo Loop combo”😄

Your post brought me right back to my solo evening hike last summer. Seemed to be the only one out there. Probably my favorite 2 hours ever in a National Park. Just glorious.

Casey, Illinois… might very well be the unofficial “World’s Largest…” capital of the… well… world. Wind chime, rocking chair, mailbox, Pac-man… and on and on and on. A great little town, too!
