Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
During our recent down time I have been stocking up on gear. In addition to trekking poles Keltin and I picked up a couple of hammocks from Madera Outdoors. These are the kind meant to sting up and relax in at the park, maybe nap for a bit in the sun with a nice breeze.
Last year before Keltin and I went to Colorado we picked him up a set of trekking poles at REI. Well, I loved them too. That Colorado altitude gets to me when I can really only train at Texas altitude. The trekking poles were really useful at the Great Sand Dunes National Park. I took
Since I can’t travel at the moment I have been enjoying the details around the neighborhood! Bear is also enjoying all the extra walks. Stay safe, we will all get through this together – even if we are apart. INSTAGRAM│FACEBOOK│TWITTER│YOUTUBE

Despite thinking I was going to freeze these were so much fun to take and Keltin got to show off his photography skills! I loved getting to feel like a
