South Western United States Road Trip

What a long month is was on the road.  A long well deserved month.  Our goal was to travel through the Southwest and go to as many National Parks, Monuments and attractions as we could.  Obviously a month wasn't enough time.    Arches, Canyon Lands, Dead Horse State Park, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, Silverton, Durango, Taos, Sante Fe, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Mono Lake... Just to name a few.  We threw the occasional visit to a friend or fishing trip in just to switch things up a bit from tourist mode.

Another chapter complete. Another year in the books.

As the final few hours of the 2015 season wind down, I gotta say 2015, you were one of the best yet.  With so many memories captured and undocumented moments remembered It was hard to pick just a few to share.  Fishing new rivers & lakes, making new friends, fixing my website and improving myself were all goals I set this year, I just had no idea that I would overachieve them. 

(I think that was what's known as a humblebrag, sorry..) 

So, 2016 let's step it up a notch. Let's get out of Oregon for more than a week.  Alaska, hey how you doing?  Belize, yeah I'm free.  Idaho, maybe I'll have to skip the Owyhee and come visit this time.

 I'll most likely just start with renewing my license and going to see the new Star Wars, but after that.. Who knows?

Hey! Thank you everyone for your support and friendship this year!
