About Us
In the beginning
Tina and I met at work in 1996.
We were young, dumb, and enjoyed drinks poured heavy.
We eloped in Las Vegas after knowing each other for just three weeks. That’s not a punchline — that’s exactly what happened.
There was no plan, no roadmap, and no illusion that we had anything figured out.
(This is our actual wedding Polaroid from the ceremony.)
And almost 30 years later
lmost 30 years later, we’re still doing what we’ve always done — choosing experiences over excuses and laughter over perfection.
Life has changed, evolved, and thrown more than a few curveballs our way, but the heart of it all remains the same. We love the journey, embrace the detours, and believe the best stories usually come from plans that didn’t quite stick.
What started as a leap of faith has turned into a lifetime of memories — and we’re still adding chapters, one adventure at a time. Something that we call Loving life and having fun
Every good adventure needs co-pilots
Reecee
These 2 goofballs (also known as Thing 1 & Thing 2) go everywhere with us. Reecee has been camping since we brought her home from the pound when she was 6 weeks old. Zero was just a wee bit older, but another pound puppy camping with us since he was 6 months old

SO WHAT'S THE STORY? AT LEAST THE CHAPTER ABOUT CAMPING.
Young & Broke
The Tent Days
As we started our journey into adulthood, we didn't have much money, which meant we were dead broke! Looking back, we realized that all we owned between us was a ratty old tent, a green Coleman camp stove, and a few folding camp chairs and tables. We couldn't do much back then, but we could go camping. And camping we did! We gathered some essential camping tips and would drive up to the Mogollon Rim @8,000' (Fire In The Sky), eventually packing 3 kids, 2 dogs, and all of our camping gear into our tiny little cars to embark on our adventures. Whether it was hot or cold, rain or shine, we made the most of our trips, often dreaming of the RV campgrounds we would one day visit as we explored the great outdoors.
