WELCOME!

Hey! It’s me, Mike, and these are my stories. I’ve been on a mission to adventure more and hike often. I love early mornings, long weekends, and almost any type of road trip. Living for a decade in Texas has taught me to find the best place to be outside wherever I may roam.

I participate in the 52 Hike Challenge annually, with modifications that make it my own such as including kayak and bike adventures. I recently moved to Ohio, and I had no idea there was so much to explore! Some current “quests” include trying to visit a brewery in every state and all of the state parks in Ohio.

30 Days of Thanks

For the month of November, I will be writing daily about something I’m thankful for. Enjoy!

Life with Mike

Read through what is inspiring me, see photos of forests, skim over my unsolicited thoughts, and look through some of my favorite road trip memories. Life has many angles and these are some of mine.

52 Hikes With Mike

Follow along as I hike throughout the year at least 52 times. If you would like to join me on a hike, please reach out! I’m always looking for people of all skill levels to join me on some of my favorite trails or somewhere new together! The hiking challenge has really opened my mind to the thought of being outside as often as possible.
