The pair have thru hiked the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, recently bought an ambulance, and are about to go on their first canyoneering trip.

The personality assessments we talked about are the Four Tendencies and the Enneagram. 

Matt Payne, who taught us how to take breathtaking mountain photos introduced Scott and Casey to Michael Bollino.  Michael is a landscape photographer based out of Portland, OR.

Due to his amazing work, Michael was the featured article in Outdoor Photographers' annual landscape special publication.
