“Bored with the Internet”

Although I majored in computer science and can admittedly be a geek, I still love playing in the outdoors. Everything from hiking, to kayaking, to camping, to most anything that involves nature and physical exertion. My extreme hobby is a little ironic too. Although my parents took me camping often as I child, it was always car camping and even then I complained that we were not in a big RV. At least they always banned bringing a television along. I never was a boy scout either. It was not until college, that I got my first real taste of the great outdoors, but I have not looked back since then.
Below is a semi organized collection of my most memorable adventures. As a disclaimer, I am not a trained author and mainly write these collections for my own edification. Too many sentences start with “I + verb,” and I ramble on for pages. You have been warned.
