2024 Year End Recap

 


We had another great year! Lots of adventures and Joannie started gym climbing again, which of course got me back into it. I played raquetball quite a bit early in the year with a group I met but I prefer singles vs doubles so kinda stopped going. We climbed at Red Rocks outside Las Vegas, took a huge road trip to Alaska and of course bikepacking! This year I would like to acknowledge all my friends that helped make these trips happen and fun. My #1 partner as always, Joannie for always (almost? 😄) being up for my offbeat idea of fun. My 2 sons, Kirk and Scott who took the time to climb with Joannie and I whenever they could, Wyatt, our dog, ever the ready companion! Kurstin who was always onboard for a bikepacking/bikerafting adventure. Cathy and Randy in Alaska, it was so good to reconnect! In addition, all the friends who joined in on various trips and helped make them magic! @milesgurtler, @mmquila, Bay, Loree, Pavel, Doug, @drwelby, @jonathansbailey, @wildwoodexpedition and finally @fourcornersguides for providing a unique experience in a place of ancient wonder. Thank you all for a fun and memorable 2024. Looking forward to what 2025 brings!
