I know we have been pretty quiet here, but a lot has been going on and I know I’m long overdue on sharing. Back in October, we went on a trip to Missouri, a lot of questions were asked. Like why Missouri? Well, why not? The never-ending green forests and clear blue springs and rivers are enough to make any desert rat jump with joy. The inspiration behind this trip is life-changing, my family and I have plans to move to Missouri since visiting but before we make the big move we really wanted to explore the state and trail systems hence the trip in October. We have only been accustomed to the Arizona desert with us being natives for over 30 years. It will still take lots of planning as moving a family across the United States isn’t easy. And making sure we find a town we like with ample hiking trails is a must. But after spending over a week in Missouri, it was nothing but beautiful and the outdoor community is amazing. I was scared it was going to be to “flat” but the Ozark Mountains are far from that. I’m beyond excited to share our next journey with you all. Re-branding and name change will most likely take place but of course, a mass email will be sent out to tell all you wonderful people about it so that way you won’t ever miss out on what we are doing.

Its crazy to think that the desert will no longer be our home but honestly, I’m ready for a change, for more adventure and I’m ready to share what we learn along the way.
