I’ve been giving myself a little break from long-form videos and spending more time learning about the area I’ve been exploring all season.

Reading The Journey of Crazy Horse after It Happened on the Oregon Trail made me realize how differently the same landscape can be experienced. For some, the West meant opportunity and a new beginning. For others, it meant trying to hold on to a way of life that was already being changed around them.

And what stayed with me most is that even more than a hundred years later, the details may change, but some parts of the human story still feel familiar. People wanting different futures, trying to protect what matters to them, and seeing the same place in completely different ways.

The more I learn about this area, the more differently I see it.

I used to think bravery had to look big.

Something dramatic. Something fearless. Something that made a good story afterward.

But the older I get, the more I think it shows up in much quieter ways.

Sometimes it’s going somewhere alone. Sometimes it’s changing your mind. Sometimes it’s turning around. Sometimes it’s admitting you’re scared and doing it anyway.

And sometimes it looks like a pile of luggage, leaving one chapter of your life behind and having absolutely no idea what the next one is going to look like.

I don’t think being brave means I’m not afraid anymore. I think I’ve just gotten better at letting fear come along without letting it make every decision for me.

Maybe that’s what bravery looks like. ❤️

I swear August lasted about three months. 😂

There were days when I felt like I was constantly going somewhere, fixing something, learning something new, or wondering how I ended up in another completely unexpected situation.

But somewhere in all that chaos, this became one of those months I know I’m going to miss.

I laughed a lot, spent a ridiculous amount of time outside, had some really good people around me, and kept saying yes to things that weren’t exactly part of the plan.

Maybe that’s why I love months like this. Not everything has to make sense while it’s happening. Sometimes you just look back at the end and think…

Damn. That was a good month. 🤎

My best friend Isaiah Coleman came to visit for what I think is officially becoming our annual road trip. 😆 At this point, it might just be tradition.

This year it happened to fall right around my birthday too, which made it even better. 🎂

The funny part is, most of the places we went weren’t new to me. I’ve already been to Devils Tower, Theodore Roosevelt, the Badlands, Black Elk Peak, Wind Cave, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Deadwood.

But somehow, doing them again with someone else made the whole trip feel completely different.

We climbed the boulder field at Devils Tower, got hailed on at our campsite, cowboy camped, finally got my backpacking night in the Badlands, watched lightning in the distance under a sky full of stars, made way too many coffee stops, climbed Black Elk Peak again 😂 and eventually ended right back where we started, Devils Tower for my birthday.

Turns out I didn’t need a completely new destination for this trip to feel special. Sometimes it’s the same places, just with different memories attached to them. 🤎

Apparently the best way I know how to celebrate National Park Day is to put everything I need on my back and disappear into one for the night. 😆🏕️

Rain was in the forecast, but we decided to go anyway. We watched the sun go down over the Badlands, caught a pretty incredible lightning show from a distance, and eventually fell asleep under the stars.

I was secretly hoping we'd wake up to a herd of bison wandering somewhere near camp. 😂 Probably one of those things that's much better in my imagination than in real life.

No herd waiting for us in the morning, but we did get a beautiful sunrise and eventually found a bison nearby.

I've visited a lot of National Parks, but experiences like this are the reason I keep coming back. ❤️

Happy National Park Day! 🌅🏕️

I turn 42 in a few days, and apparently I’m still really into doing things for the first time. 😆

Going places by myself. Waking up somewhere completely different. Changing the plan because something else sounds more fun. And occasionally doing something that scares the crap out of me. 😂

I don’t think I ever want to reach an age where I feel like I’ve seen enough, learned enough, or tried enough.

There’s still so much out there I haven’t done yet.
Kinda chic, I guess. 😆

It is only felt fair to admit I have a few of my own. 🚩😂

Apparently I can be grumpy about waking up early for work, but somehow waking up before sunrise for an adventure is completely reasonable. I’ll say I’m going to relax on my day off and end up on a trail. I’ll complain that somewhere is too far… until there’s a mountain involved.

Some of these probably aren’t red flags so much as very questionable priorities. 😆

Either way, I’m aware of them.

Am I fixing them?

Absolutely not. 😂

What’s one of your harmless red flags?

I think one of the unexpected things about getting older is realizing that making life better isn’t always about adding more to it.

Sometimes it’s about what you stop making room for.

I’ve become more protective of my time, my energy, and the kind of people I surround myself with. Not because I expect anyone to be perfect. I cancel plans sometimes, I complain, I have bad days, and I’m definitely still figuring things out too. 😆

But I’ve learned there’s a difference between someone having a bad day and a pattern that constantly leaves you drained.

Maybe that’s also why I’ve grown to love being out on a trail, traveling on my own, or disappearing somewhere quiet for a while. The more comfortable I’ve become with my own company, the less I feel the need to force connections, chase people, or keep explaining myself.

I’m still learning. Still unlearning. And apparently getting a little pickier about what gets packed into this life with me. 😂

Less drama. Less forcing. Less explaining.

More room for good people, good energy, new experiences, and whatever adventure comes next. ❤️

I used to think luxury meant having more. Now, I think it might be having enough freedom to need less.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the things that don’t come with a receipt. Slow mornings, choosing where the day takes me, getting far enough away that everything goes quiet, and having the time to actually enjoy where I am.

Maybe that’s why some of my favorite memories are also the simplest ones. Nothing fancy. Just a beautiful place, nowhere else I need to be, and that feeling of… yeah, this is enough.

Turns out my taste in luxury is pretty simple. It just requires a good pair of hiking shoes. 😂🥾
