That’s just Jo and our guide Mama riding back to the stables after our two hour ride, climbing up to 10k ft, while watching a snow storm completely cover that 14k ftr that you can’t even see any more directly in front of them. NO BIG DEAL. Ha! @elkhor… instagr.am/p/CkugsY-O5KQ/

A frozen Emerald Lake capped an unforgettable hike through the Bear Lake area of @rockynps. Shortly after Jo and I landed in Denver, we drove two hours up into Estes Park. We hit four alpine lakes on this hike, each more amazing than the next. The mount… instagr.am/p/CksPTkDu-8U/

Welp… the ol’ girl came to rest today. 300,000+ miles. She blew her engine on 74/76 about 70 mi outside ILM. Many adventures were had. Many stories will be told. May she RIP. #neverforgotten #toyota #4runner #adventure #vehicle instagr.am/p/CijWyEEjon4/

Things didn’t go according to plan for our Linville Gorge trip and I honestly think it turned out better! Rain chased us from camping but not before we overlooked at Wiseman’s and climbed down to the falls below Babel Tower. Then it was Lake James and … instagr.am/p/Cfq4bK-Le2v/
