Travel, on and off-road.
“We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.” George Washington Today we adventured around the entirety of Valley Forge National Park.

I grew up spending the majority of my time outside. From around age 5 until I was 18 and left for college, I lived at summer camp. Yep, you heard me right, a real-life summer camp. Summer romances, drinking my first beer on the dock, arts and crafts, lifeguards at the pool and a lake …
