Well I have visited 48 states and haven’t been able to hit every park! I grew up in Utah and have been spoiled with all those parks and the surrounding states. If I could take another trip across the country I’d go and visit any of the states I’ve missed. Alaska parks and Michigan. I’ve dreamed of the white sands and badlands theres something special about the vast rolling hills really putting into perspective how small we are.

I’ve had endless adventures but The kismet happenings… those are my favorite. When I arrived two days early on the east coast in Maine after a 12 hour drive. I could officially say I’ve seen each coast. The second I park someone I knew from the west coast ended up parking right behind me. He shared that he was there for a van meetup. Naturally I went, when I arrived the man parked next to me introduced himself. I found out that he bought my childhood home sold it a month prior and bough his van.

I would fuel my way to the parks/states I wanted to visit. Probably buy a small sailboat to live on or start to build a treehouse as a home base. I’d go climb, raft, do some thru hikes, high-line, paraglide, surf, kite surf, DH longboard! I’d love to bring the people I love along and share the stoke! I’ll look at sailing trips island hop and backpack SE Asia! Who knows how far 10k could get me!
