We started this blog over a year ago as a way to share our thoughts and love of the outdoors with others. So after launching, we gathered our gear, got some miles between us and the nearest city, and began to chronicle some amazing camping trips. But since last winter, a lot has changed. So much so that it forced us into hibernation for a bit. We’ve finally started coming out of our cave after months. It’s been a hard year, as we’re sure all of you have been finding. We wanted to give a quick update about where we are and where we’ll be going.
The world has changed
The world we live in is a lot different from a year ago. With the pandemic still in full force, all of our lives have been turned upside down. We hope that those of you reading this are staying safe and healthy, and that you and your families have been able to adjust to the challenging times as best you can. It feels a bit weird to be running a blog dedicated to being outdoors when we currently live in the reality of sheltering-in-place. It has made going out to enjoy a hike or camping trip that much harder, let alone trying to run a site dedicated to chronicling that. But we have come to recognize that as our world has changed, our need to be outdoors and enjoy nature in a safe and responsible way will be more important than ever. That is motivating us to start this site back up again.
Our campsite has grown
In the midst of the chaos and anxiety of a pandemic, we were blessed with an addition to our family by welcoming our daughter to this world this past Spring. Now we’re going to be needing a slightly bigger tent. We’re just overjoyed with growing our family, and especially excited to be sharing our love of the outdoors with her. We can’t wait to get her out into nature as soon as we can. We look forward to adding stories and tips about what it means to camp and hike with a little one in tow.
So what’s next?
Well, once both parents and baby can get a good night’s sleep, we’ll look for our next best and safest opportunity to head outdoors. Stay tuned to hear from us about those upcoming adventures, prepping for the trip, what gear worked and didn’t, and how camping and hiking goes in a post-pandemic and post-baby way. Until then, we hope you all are staying safe and sane and finding a little bit of peace wherever and however you may be.
