Photo Blog with Waterfalls, Hiking, Outdoors, and other Adventures
As you may have guessed by my other posts and this blog as a whole, I have always been interested in photography. My goal was always to try and capture images from my trips while not consuming the whole experience – that is to say, I wanted to live in the moment rather than focus … Read more
Back home in Kenosha, WI and the adventure has come to a finish for now. Unpacked the car and now time to rest. Further unpacking and cleaning for tomorrow. Thanks to my family for everything on this trip, all the great people I met on the road, and the National Park Service and staff for … Read more
Pulled off for my (hopefully) last stop before home near Walcott, Iowa. Lots of corn here. LOTS. Apparently I found myself at Iowa 80 Truckstop (the world’s largest truck stop) so there’s that. My life accomplishments may have just peaked… Lat = 41.6175071 , Long = -90.7816946 — Show at Google Maps
Adventure comes in all forms, and today it took the shape of a gastronomical trek. Like a beacon of gluttony, the giant Waffle House sign called my name. We don’t have these in Wisconsin and probably for good reason. $11 dollars worth of shame and sadness was the outcome. Womp womp. Pecan waffle almost saved … Read more
Sorry no post for Amarillo, but for real it didn’t deserve one. Nothing to see on the way through Oklahoma or most of Kansas either besides large fields of nothingness. Possibly one of the most boring drives ever. I-435 in Kansas City may also be the worst road I have driven in the dark – … Read more
An hour away from Las Cruces on the way back to Wisconsin is White Sands National Monument. Known for its very rare almost pure white sand dunes, it seems almost out of place compared to the other local landscape. Interesting fact: at 275 square miles, it is the largest gypsum dune field in the world. … Read more
Didn’t spend much time in Las Cruces, but I did manage to pick up some Hatch green chiles and packed them in ice to bring home. For those that don’t know, Hatch, NM is the chile pepper capitol of the world and you can usually only get these in New Mexico (to my knowledge). Thanks … Read more
After several weeks of travel and about 5,000 miles driven, I arrived in Las Cruces, NM and reunited with my family. Took one day off to rest and prepare for the elk hunt season. My Dad drew a bull tag for NM unit 34 which is located in the Lincoln National Forest. Based on intel … Read more
My sister Jordan suggested while I was in Santa Fe to visit a cool art exhibit called Meow Wolf. George RR Martin, creator of Game of Thrones, is the landlord and Meow Wolf is the art collective which has created an amazing immersive experience that can really only be described through the photos. You start … Read more
Made it to my hotel in Sata Fe in one piece! Drive through the mountains wasn’t so bad after the first 100 white-knuckle miles down the mountains. Believe the pass I drove through was approaching 10,000 feet but grades were fairly gradual. Got lucky once again and split the green & blue on the radar. … Read more
