In this work-a-day world full of bills and due dates, when do you get out of the city and see all of the sights you’ve always wanted to see? If you are lucky you’ll spend a long weekend in one of those extraordinary places. If you are really lucky, you’ll get get the best gift ever. TIME. My gift came in the form of a lay-off, but hey, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, right? I’m going to take this gift and USE IT UP. I’m leaving nothing on the table. To all those sights I’ve always wanted to see…I’m coming for ya. A sunrise from the floor of the Grand Canyon – you bet. An alpine lake in the Canadian Rockies – yep. A crazy place called Crack-in-the-ground, OR – oh, hell, yeah.

Stay tuned, friends. Push off date is scheduled for some time in early July. This is about to get good.
