When I started dating my husband, one of the prerequisites to marriage was a willingness to be active outdoors. This blog is an account of the good, bad, and ugly we have experienced on our hike through life in both the literal and figurative sense. Yes, we love hiking, backpacking, biking, skiing, and camping and there are many stories to tell, but there are many other stories about just our life’s journey together that are worthy of sharing. Our favorite places to hike are the Pacific Northwest and the Rockies. However, being from Michigan, many of our lake shore hikes are some of the breathtaking as well. I try to update weekly!
