“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”

John Muir

It was a much-needed break from the “ordinary,” this trip to central Oregon. We rendezvoused with my brother, Drew, and good friends Garrett and Kristin for some fresh high desert air and pine trees.

The days consisted of mountain biking, bagging buttes and hunting caves. The evenings and nights spent conversing around great campfires and roasting up delicious meats (thank you, Austin!)
