A sub 24 overnight is basically a bikepacking trip that lasts less than twenty four hours (duh!). I didn’t do a single bikepacking trip in 2024 and hadn’t been camping in a tent for quite some time. I get this itch to sleep outside that needs scratching. The whole #vanlife thing is fun and definitely…

Planning
This is the time of year I start to get antsy for outdoor adventures. The crappy weather has been with us for a bit now, but some warmer weather is quite possibly only a few weeks away. I have spent the past few months thinking about spring and summer adventures. Hikes, bike rides, camping trips,…

San Juan Huts – Day 5
