Our sunset canoe down the river. The fog rolled in and all the wildlife came out to greet us. We even saw a hawk diving into the water for a fish. As many of you know, the Caney Fork can be very busy on the weekends. However, the days are long, so if you put in late afternoon, you’ll miss the crowds and still have plenty of time to enjoy your float☺️

I’ll be honest in that I felt a little shame for wanting to continue my travel business last year. Travel isn’t an “essential“ business, so I was told. I shut out everything and barely spent time outdoors. My mental and physical health was affected and I can’t help but imagine those who struggled with this before the pandemic. My heart goes out to you if you’re reading this. Moving into 2021, I want you to start thinking about what’s “essential” to you. What life changes are you wanting to make? My focus this year will be on building community and being active in the outdoors. I’m also working on creating some incredible travel opportunities that you’ll want to stay tuned for🙌🏻 Stay well and we will talk soon!

Happy Bday to the hardest working man I know, farmer Wayne. I have my dad to thank for taking all of us kids out west on a road trip every single summer. We would all be piled in the station wagon and he would work until the very last minute before we headed out. When it comes to storytelling, I always get super excited talking about two things.. my travels and the farm. I feel blessed to have a dad that has worked this hard to help guide us kids to who we are today.
