It started with a small interest in photography. I needed a reliable storage source because I started to accumulate so many photographs.   YouTube seemed like a great unlimited storage source.    I got bored with all the still pictures and started to put them together into videos.  My interest grew from there in photography and videography.

I am a recently retired Civil Engineer.  Right now I am specializing in making the most of my retirement years and doing only the things that I enjoy doing.  That currently includes traveling, hiking, cooking, spending time with my family and homemaking.

Right now, traveling is high on our priority list.  We have a 5-year plan currently highlighting the larger trips we want to take.  Smaller trips will be taken as frequently as possible.  Most of the trips will involve camping and hiking.

Yes it certainly can be difficult to do everything we want to do with two dogs in tow.  Dogs are a big responsibility obviously.  Fred and I very often have separate adventures because if we plan on being gone  more than a couple of hours, or it is very hot outside, one of us needs to stay back with the dogs if the adventure is not dog friendly.  We do love our dogs however and would not have it any other way.

We like to travel as lean and frugally as we can while still being comfortable. It has taken us many camping trips to figure out exactly what that means to us.  We currently believe that we are as lean as we can be with regards to the gear we carry  and we are happy with our set up.
