Today marks three months since we said bye-bye to our house in New York, hitched our trailer to a truck and set out for the four southern states we wanted to explore as potential “next home(s).” We’ve seen parts of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and North Carolina with little bits of Virginia and Pennsylvania along …
On April 30, we boogied from Lexington, NC (where we’re staying with our friends, Suzy and Kevin) to Wilkesboro, NC – home of the largest bluegrass festival in the world, Merlefest! Merlefest is a HUGE bluegrass festival begun by Doc Watson about 30 years ago to honor his son, Merle, who tragically passed in a …
I’ve walked across many a river stepping lightly and confidently from stone to stone. Without exaggeration, I can say that I have never ever slipped and fallen off a moss-covered rock, twisted in mid-air and found myself totally submerged and dripping from head to toe. Until today. When I, a 6’3″, 250-pound guy, fell into …
I have been experiencing sad, scared and angry feelings over the last two days that seemed to come out of nowhere. In the last two blog posts, I walked into these feelings to see what was there.

This morning, I woke up and the first thing I thought was, “We’re starting our Spring Cleanse today.” This is a two-week process where we clean up our eating habits in order for the internal organs to get a break from the hard work of digestion. It’s also a reset when we examine the foods …
There are two sides to every story, right? Today, we decided to hike in the Smoky Mountains. For our first hike, we picked out a reasonably short 4-mile roundtrip trail that led to a waterfall. As we were leaving, Beth asked, “Did you check to make sure it’s okay to bring Bradley (our dog)?” To …

It’s time to start meditating, again. The Adventure is generally enjoyable, but it’s feeling a bit bumpy this morning. I’m surprised. Yesterday was really nice – a good sleep, some kayaking on the lake, a sweet conversation with our friends, and a new song written during Beth’s yoga session (“Just for Today”). What’s with the …
Today has been a great day. Beth and I are talking a lot about what’s next and it’s moving from being totally scary to really exciting. Such are the ups and downs of the Adventure! One of the reasons I’ve had a good day is that we both love the campground where we are in …
