http://longdistancehiker.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-unexpected.html
Friday, January 1, 2016. If I had to sum up 2015 in one word it would be 'Unexpected'. So what does this mean for 2016? If this past year has taught me anything, its to expect the unexpected. Like 2015, I have a vision for what I want to do with my life. For example,. I want to run/hike/walk the year. 2,016 kilometers/1253 miles),. I want to run my first half marathon,. I want to go on at least 20 new hikes,. I want to get back into photography,. I want to blog more about all of my on foot adventures,.

Within Walking Distance: May 2015
http://longdistancehiker.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. 42 miles (easy, one-way). We took advantage of some time off of work and headed down to Jones Hole Hatchery. The trail starts out at the hatchery, meandering along side rows of rainbow, brown, and brook trout before disappearing into the lush green trees within the canyon. As the trees grew thick around me the snap, crackle and pop of tiny cicadas sang louder in my ears, and the sound of the rolling creek drowned out the sounds of the restz of the world.

Within Walking Distance: April 2015
http://longdistancehiker.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. Fly Fishing in Utah. Anyone who knows me, knows that fishing is not my favorite thing to do. Its kind of a time suck. I could be working, hiking/exercising, writing, reading. Essentially anything else other than fishing. Ever since Cori got into fly fishing last August shes been begging me to try it. Today, I agreed to go on a guided trip through Circle Valley Anglers. Admittedly I was kind of excited. Links to this post. Labels: Ashley National Forest. Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
