What a ride!

One of the goals of this blog is to inspire people to EXPLORE the big, beautiful world!  The rivers and hills and roads and lakes gives us abundant avenues to FIGHT APATHY and go discover who we are, push past our boundaries all the while smiling and sweating and hurting and ultimately discovering that:  

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

This year we went from Oceanside to New Orleans to Bristol to Maryland to Gilford to Franconia to Maine and then more Maine to Poconos to Miami to Arizona! 

In no particular order and in beautiful photo format here was the 2012 situation:
