Mt Moran - Paddle, Hike, Climb, Summit

After 14+ years of driving east on Main St in Rexburg, ID and seeing Mt Moran staring me down from afar, I got to finally stand on its summit. I was very entertained with the fact that it requires paddling across two lakes, backpacking a short but steep distance, and climbing (roped up) to get to the summit. It’s an involved experience and one to always remember.

Elephants in Thailand

While in Thailand during 2017, we spent a day feeding, bathing, riding, and playing with elephants. It is by far the most unique experience we’ve had thus far in all our travels.

For the anti-elephant-riding activists, we hear you. Before this trip, we consumed a lot of your information about how riding elephants has its downsides for the elephants. Because of your love for the elephants, you helped us make wise decisions in making sure we did these things in ethical and humane ways.
