Father's Day weekend continues to be the perfect time to get outdoors.  My parents made sure that my siblings and I were exposed to all that Mother Nature had to offer.  For that, I am grateful and I aspire to do the same for my kids.  This is how we camp and I hope that you'll join us somewhere down the line... maybe, on the slackline.

Summer is here! Time to get outside and soak up some stars. Let's wake up together (figuratively) at Table Mountain Campground during the Father's Day Weekend.  There are still plenty of sites available, so have at it. We will be at the site from June 13th through June 15th. Please let me know if you plan on joining us so we can meet up and say hello.  -Greg

The last time I was in Tucson, I sat down with my parents and asked them a few questions about their lives with me. I realize now that these conversations were the start of something special. More to come on that. For now, here is an edit of the chat I had with pops. Enjoy.

Not all of us are lucky enough to have an adult relationship with our parents.  Thankfully, the gods have been kind to me.  On a recent trip to Tucson, I was able to share a morning of reflection with my mother, Brigitte.  I love telling stories... but I love hearing them more.  

Range anxiety is often touted as a major concern when it comes to EV adoption. So, I decided to do some recon on one of my frequent trips to the Old Pueblo (Tucson, AZ). Fear not, Rivian owners, the Rivian Adventure Network has you covered. If you happen to charge in Quartzsite, I recommend the corned beef hash at the Times Three Restaurant. You're welcome.

Americans needs the forest more than ever. We need its embrace to disconnect and find one another in nature. When we wake up beneath the stars, we are reborn. The National Parks are our heritage and we have to do all that we can to ensure their perpetuity. The land will heal you.

Are you the warrior wielding the light, or the silent and obedient waiting to be fed. Join me as we explore those that are taking a stand and creating solutions for the world instead of trying to unravel it.

Welcome back to the fire.

Let’s talk about my completely subjective opinions on ICE and EV trucks. I know what I like and I like what I know. That being said, I’m open to being completely wrong.

I got a few new things going on in this one so let me know what you think. Not a fan of the audio on the Zoom recording... better next time, promise.  

I failed to credit my wife for rediscovering the porcelain camper and putting it on my radar. You get me.

I reference a great historical source in this episode, The American Axis by Max Wallace.

 One needs a plan to return to the forest... especially when it involves a couple of young, new adventurers. Join us as we set this new adventure in motion. The stars await.

The beauty of the campfire lies in its ability to generate honesty among friends.  Choosing to hit record risks the sanctity of the moment... but sometimes you get a gem.  This may not be one of them.
