I have built out my Rav4 for solo car camping. For someone in the last quarter of their life, I think it's pretty adventurous. In 2025, I have plans to visit and work on dude ranches in the West. If we don't set adventure goals, we will never reach them and know what we are capable of.

We met a guy in his 70s in Estes Park who lived in his Subaru Outback for a few years. He shared some amazing stories and ideas for living on the road.

That sounds like a great plan. And I agree we need to set adventure goals.

Would you be interested in doing an interview in 2025 about your experience?

I would love to! By June, I should have the Arizona dude ranches done. By September, I should complete Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.

That's one hell of a list of adventures! I love it! I think adventure is about challenging ourselves, dancing back and forth across the line of our comfort zone. That is where we find growth, knowledge of ourselves, and gratitude for life. But, what that looks like is entirely different from person to person. We are all unique and so are the paths we walk. From what I've read here, it looks like you're already living a life of adventure!

Thanks Erik! I think you hit the nail on the head here. Adventure can be defined in a variety of ways and it's not a one size fits all approach. But I love what you and others do, how you explore in a different way, and the amazing photos you take. It's inspirational!!

I hope we can connect and chat more. Would love to learn from you!

Thanks Jesse! We have seen and done some awesome stuff on our travels. Now I just want to get the outdoor experience amped up.
