Fall is in full effect, enjoying a rare day off. Just wish the wind would stop blowing. #overlandbound #wildernessaddiction #wonderlust

The gang life in Northern Arizona is getting worse. This band of misfits just stood there on private property no cares given. #overlandbound #wonderlust #wildernessaddiction

Simply a test to check how email post is working.

This is a test, in case of an actual post something humorous or life changing would be said here.

It's been a busy weekend, and it's only Saturday night! #wonderlust #overlandbound #wildernessaddiction #wearethewild

A little something to brag about...

So a big shout out to my lovely wife, who was inducted into PHI THETA KAPPA for her hard work at returning to school. She was asked to join based on her GPA, which she has done an amazing job at maintaining, with a full-time job, a family, and all the other things life throws at you. I'm very proud of her!

Our local mountain is dressed to impress with th its fall colors. Had a chance to take a little hike with Franken-daughter today to enjoy them. #keepitwild #overlandbound #wonderlust #fall2017

So, as I've posted earlier Franken-daughter has been learning to drive, today was a first. After heading out 40 miles the long way to the ranch (which she has done a couple of times now) she went ahead and took to the Interstate! I know right?! I was nervous, but she did a great job. She also drove up to the mountains where we took the opportunity to get out and hike for four miles too see some of that great fall color. All in all it was a great day.

Till next time.

Fall is in full effect, felt like mid 30's this morning, and windy. Unfortunately I have to work today, but I'm sure I'll be hiking tomorrow! #wildernessaddiction #overlandbound #wonderlust #optoutside #waitingonspring #fallweather

Full harvest moon in the desert. Really thankful for the cooler weather. #wonderlust #wildernessaddiction #familytime #backyardretreat

So as many of you may know, Franken-daughter is learning to drive. At the same time she is getting a fair amount of dirt road, hill climbing, and when weather permits mud, snow, and sand. Learning in the Sportage so when she hits the road in her Baja Bug she'll be ready for anything. #overlandbound #wonderlust #wildernessaddiction #studentdriver

Just what I needed after a rough weekend at work, just some alone time listening to the wind in the pines. #keepitwild #optoutside #wonderlust #overlandbound #WeAreTheWild #wildernessaddiction #peaceandquiet
