From my experience with national parks, I dream of visiting all the parks I have yet to see as they are all unique and special, however, Olympic fascinates me with the coast, rainforest, and mountains. It will not remain only a dream much longer.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?As the sun set Sept 28th I began my rim to river to rim trek of the Grand Canyon on the South Kaibab trail, which steeply follows the ridgeline and became fully illuminated by the full moon. On my hike I took pics of my prosthetic leg making its own journey. I met another photographer had the same idea to use the moonlight. I made the bottom before dawn and made it up angel bright in 28 hrs total. Many people gave me snacks & took pics with me on how I motivated them, while their words did me
What would you do with $10,000?I would buy a Nikon D850, lens, and a hard shell jackson kayak with a dry suit and get my Xterra running well
