Visiting the Aurora Fossil Museum
One of Ray’s favorite hobbies (besides camping and fishing) is finding and collecting Shark Teeth. One of his greatest in his collection is a large Megladon tooth.

A Quick Trip to Chattanooga
It was an amazing Friday in May when I received the email that we had a tent available for pick up. The awesome folks at Cascadia Vehicle Tents (@CVTTents) had set aside a Mt. Rainier Summit tent for us to pick up. So, after a very late night of working, I fell asleep at 11…

Starting a Fire
One of the most important things you can learn with regards to camping, is how to safely start a fire. A fire can offer warmth in the cold, a heat for cooking, light in the dark, and most importantly – is a key ingredient in the making of S’Mores! I’ve started my fair share of…
