So this series has been very delayed. It was never meant to be delayed this long I just didn’t get around to it because I got busy and distracted with life. So I’m playing catch-up. Blame the video editing – it takes forever and I’m still working on my book. Yes, I’m actually working on
I’m behind on my posts but I’m slowly catching up. In early 2024 we went back to Phoenix for a wedding. The guys went golfing for the grooms bachelor party. So with a free day, I went hiking. Being that I didn’t have ton of time or most of my equipment past a day pack,

One of our favorite places to hike is the LBJ National Grasslands. It doesn’t show in the pictures but this hike was a bit crazy. When we arrived at the trailhead it was PACKED. Normally there are a handful of cars but rarely more than 10. This time, there were cars everywhere. Turns out, there
