A Girl and a Winch

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

During a temperate spring day on 8,600 acres of non-standard woods in Orange, Virginia, I learned about vehicle self-recovery. I had no idea I would learn so much and actually enjoy myself.

A small group gathered around to get the day’s agenda from Garrett and J.B. of Overland Experts (OEX), an off-road and overland training company that offers various curriculum for both civilians and military personnel.

Cycling Across America

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Twenty-nine hundred miles in twenty-five days. The distance and time are staggering in their own right but throw in elements such as heat, wind, and rain and one might be lead to believe that this sounds more like a form of grueling punishment than camaraderie and adventure. As it turns out, trekking from Costa Mesa, California across the United States to Savannah, Georgia by way of bicycle was all of this and then some. (more…)

Another hallmark of the events was the emphasis on teamwork and mental challenges, in addition to the seemingly impossible terrain. It was an incredible test of man and machine, with teams from all over the world vying for the trophy. (more…)

Well, some items on the list are long term and have deeper meaning, things like seeing your children grow-up healthy and happy. Others with lesser levels of complexity, but also with meaning – items like parachuting out of a plane, bungee jumping from great heights, visiting Paris, hiking the Grand Canyon, and the list goes on.
