2017 Reflections

Looking back, 2017 was filled with exploration, wild places and good craft beer. We explored new places and visited old favorites; met new friends and connected with old ones. We tried two new sports- stand up paddleboarding and cross-county skiing (and loved both). We spent the winter in the snowy Adirondack Mountains; stood on the highest points of Arizona and New Mexico, and soaked in desert sunsets. We backpacked the wild Lost Coast and among the high Eastern Sierra Mountains in California and slept beneath starry skies. All in all, a year well lived.  Here's to the new year and new adventures.
