Back to Basics


Somewhere along the line in the not-to-distant past, I re-discovered (or in some cases, discovered), a love for all things outdoors.

I always loved to fish as a kid, but lost my way when I got cool........

I love the smell of autumn leaves and a drive down a country or mountain road, but lost my way when I had to clean up all those leaves........

I used to walk or ride my bike everywhere, but I lost my way when my "bike" had a motor on it.......

I used to think camping was a hotel/motel without free HBO or a microwave......

I never learned how to fly fish.......

The past few months, I have stepped back and put more time and effort into being outdoors, and more importantly, sharing that time with my family. My son has been my fishing buddy for a couple of years now, and now we are adding more and more outdoor activities to the list. The purpose of this blog is to both recount my adventures outdoors and to be a resource for others that are looking to get more outdoors. Fishing, Hiking, Camping and whatever else cross our paths (pun intended) will be covered in hopes of creating a repository of memories, inspiration, and knowledge for those who follow our path.

Please, only leave behind your comments, and your footprints.
