This is my first post. I am a lucky man because I have figured out why I exist… to live a Good Life. For me The Good Life is my family, productivity in my work, camping in my popup (tent) trailer with my wife Joyce, and backpacking.

The best camping is somewhere in the “boondocks” alone with Joyce, and the best backpacking is hiking solo. All simple stuff, and all of it rewarding.

This blog is really for my family and friends only. But as I document The Good Life, I realized that other folks with similar interests might like to read about what I do. There are no comment pages here, because I really don’t care what others think about my life.

Life is like a long hike. It is just a series of small steps, that when placed end-to-end, becomes an epic adventure.

I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do!
