This is a photo of the Great Smoky Mountains doing pretty Great Smoky Mountains things. It's also a photo of our new backyard. After two great years in South Dakota, we're excited to call eastern Tennessee our new home in this great adventure of life.

This past fall, I had the amazing privilege of getting to join Keely and Damien Mahoney of Black Hills Balloons for a hot air balloon ride over gorgeous South Dakota. I wrote about the experience for @thedyrt. Give it a read - link in profile, or: https://thedyrt.com/magazine/local/hot-air-balloon-black-hills/ - and then you should probably head over to @blackhillsballoons to book your next adventure! 😎 📷: @avoidingbarges
I got the opportunity for my latest piece in @thedyrt to go explore the four historic lodges in gorgeous @custerstateparksd. Read more about them on the site! Link in profile, or: https://thedyrt.com/magazine/local/custer-state-park-lodging/
I had the great honor of speaking with several stakeholders in Florida who are fighting to save the Everglades. They know the importance of voting today for the candidates who will best support the outdoors. I hope you will join them. Special thanks to @macstonephoto, @evergladesfoundation, @cottagestocastles, and @captainsforcleanwater for sharing their passion with me. Read the full story of how toxic algae is shaping politics in Florida on the @gossamergear blog - and then go vote!

My first piece for @thedyrt is about a last minute trip to Devils Tower National Monument. It was a great reminder that sometimes you've got to put the to-do list on hold and just go! Link in profile or --> https://blog.thedyrt.com/camping-destinations/devils-tower-camping/
