Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
This trip was too short but we did get to spend time with friends and family. On top of that I got to cross another state off my list! This is not a state I expected to be able to check off so soon, partly due to the distance. Nebraska was a lot of corn
While visiting Keltin’s brother on our way home we stopped for some local beer at Kinkaider Brewing. This is a great brewery that was started in Omaha, NE. We visited the Grand Island location. The food was just as good as the beer. Our Beer Flight: Devil’s Gap Jalapeno Ale (ABV 4.7%) – I’m not

Here is gear that Keltin purchased and tested out over the past couple of years both at home and on various trips. He has purchased a combination of both new and used gear from REI. All of these reviews are written by him. New Gear Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Crew Top: This is a
