Hopeful Adventurer

Here is where I was inspired by Steve Kamb of Nerdfitness and his Epic Quest of Awesome! I envision myself like a character from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragon Lance books such as Tika Waylan or Lauralanthalasa Kanan. I have become an adventurer at heart, roaming the parks and streets. 

This page will be dedicated to the places and things I want to visit, hike, and do. I will probably be constantly adding more to it as I learn more about the places I go. I am going to try and have this set up in an organized fashion, but as it gets longer, I fear that it'll get messy.  Mostly it'll be hike/climb unless otherwise stated.
