My 2012 was pretty much just like Kurts. Only more awesome. Wouldn't want to spoil things by upstaging him.

Lots of great adventures among this group! I think the Siberia treck of Kurt's got me the most jealous! Hard to beat off the grid travel in cold, remote parts of the world!

Not sure I have a single photo from the year involving a vehicle!

Spring trip to Oregon.



Venture Scout trip to Camp New Fork, WY



Lake Powell and Goblin Valley

 

[Houndoc]

Some hunting and fishing



Northern Manitoba (out of order, happened in March)



Travel involved 7 airports, high rail (trucks that run on train tracks), freight train and ski doo, plus small amount in truck.

Aruba

 

[Houndoc]

More Aruba
the ruins are actually from an old gold mine.

Final tally of the year:

51 horse back rides, 17 nights camping, one really stuck truck (sorry, no photos.)

Solid work guys!
