In September of 2010, Jennilyn and I decided to pack up our belonging and cram them into a storage unit. We then set off in our mini-van crammed pack full of our family of four and enough supplies, equipment, and toys to keep us busy for 2.5 months. Without a home, we lived out of our minivan and tent. The only plans that we had were to rock climb everyday at some of our favorite rock climbing areas in the western states.
Together as a family, we lived a dream. We cut the cords that keep us bound to everyday conventional life and experienced life the way it should be lived.
