This morning we hosted our first Adopt a Highway clean up on SR 87 and had 14 volunteers join us. We collected 10 bags of trash & bulky items that totaled 225 pounds. All of the trash was collected within one mile 😱

Shoutout to the fantastic volunteers that joined us this morning! You all are amazing and we appreciate you so much.

Have you been to this cave?🦇

Kartchner Cavern’s State Park is incredible! We have a new blogpost covering our trip last winter. *We had special permission to film inside the cave*

The cave is maintained at 70° F and 99% humidity all year long, which helps keep the cave active and alive. It’s highly recommended to reserve your tour spot in advance because they often fill up completely. The tours are Park Ranger led and are wheelchair accessible. Check out our blog for more details and photos!

Who else is a weekend warrior?🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏾

🚙 Over the past couple of years we have been able to really take advantage of planning trips around a holiday, making the most of our PTO, and embracing the weekend warrior mentality.
🗓️ At the start of the year we look at what holidays we have and will plan some of our PTO around a holiday. For example, we know we have Labor Day off so we have planned to do a week trip, but we only need to take 4 days off from work since we both get Labor Day off!
💻 We both work from home and occasionally will work remotely during the day and explore in the evenings so we can save PTO
📸 One of our goals this year is to share more behind the scenes footage from our trips and adventures. Stay tuned to our Instagram stories and newsletter to see what we’re doing to prep for trips and additional content

Summer camping trips >

We can have a stressful week at work, but as soon as we get into the woods, wilderness, or just somewhere remote, all of that stress goes away. We’re looking forward to summer camping trips up north! We love the pines so much🌲⛺️

🎥 This footage is from September 2023

Leave No Trace camping tips:
⛺️ Pick a spot to camp where others have already camped
🔥🪵 Be sure to check fire regulations before heading out!
🚮 Remember to pack out all of your trash! & please don’t burn your trash. It never fully burns and can attract animals to the campsite. Plus it’s never fun for the next camper
🌦️ Always check the weather forecast and have plans for changes in weather
