July 27th to July 29th, 2018 – When Pete invites you on a bikepacking trip you can expect two things: It’s going to rain. The route will be a gem. So when Pete, Erin, Grete and I planned a long weekend adventure up into Canada we had an idea of what we were getting into… […]
Read more "Top of the World!"9/30 to 10/16/2017 – Words by Grete When you book your tickets to Mexico two weeks prior to your trip, your parents will worry that you haven’t done enough planning.

Read more "Mud Daah Hey"11/10 to 12/6/2016 – Uncle Mike is an adventurous force to be reckoned with. He has an endless collection of wild stories from his wanderlust filled life.

Read more "A Chévere Month in Ecuador"4/1 to 5/9/2016 – When you get a call from your best buddies proposing that they might come stay with you for a month, take them up on it.
