We lie in bed with nothing but a tiny portion of our faces exposed. Our breath creates a cloud of steam when it touches the icy air. The walls surrounding us are made of snow, and the bed beneath is made of ice. Inside, the...
We had the pleasure to go zip lining twice this summer, once in Minnesota, and again in the state of Washington. In fact, zip lining in Spokane was one of the first adventures we had after getting off the plane in Washington, and what a...
“All forward” our guide yelled out. Right on cue, everyone in our boat began to paddle as we blasted through our first set of rapids. We were white water rafting in Spokane, Washington, with Wiley E. Waters and it sure was an exciting way to...
Lake Superior is so large that it contains 10% of the entire planet’s fresh surface water, and by surface area, it is the largest lake in the world. For these reasons and more, sailing on Lake Superior was an adventure that definitely piqued our interest....
