Our Story

Hey! My name is Bob and this is my wife, Gayla.

After a 25-year military career, Gayla and I, began re-evaluating what was important in life and figuring out what we were going to do when we grew up!  I have always loved photography and spending time in nature.   Gayla always loved to travel. We both understand and enjoy the many benefits of outdoor play.  Despite our passions, we realized that traveling and getting outdoors is not as simple as it seems based on the many other demands life places on us. It became clear to us that traveling and getting outdoors is a lifestyle decision and the road we were going to take.  Better get started, eh?

So, we decided to make notes of what we have learned, research ways to do it smarter, and create a space to share ideas.  We have realized that if we want to be active when we retire, we need to be active now and this is part of our family’s journey towards a more active, outdoor-based lifestyle.  Our hope is that we all will inspire each other and collectively benefit from sharing what we learn to enable us all to experience greatness in life!  Hope you join us on this journey!

I would love to hear if you have ideas on how we can do this better or things you would like to know more about, contact me at:  williamsonrd38@gmail.com
