Work trip to AZ was pretty great. I love the desert southwest.

Drove from Taos to Raton yesterday while on a family road trip. New Mexico is truly beautiful. Wish I had time to go fishing. #newmexico #riogrande #taos #roadtrip #springbreak

Rode some new single track at Burns Park and then did some XC down to the Big Dam Bridge. #MTB #arkansas #river #trail

Beautiful day for a ride at Blue Mountain Natural Area. #mtb #mountainbike #biking #Arkansas #NaturalAreas #outside #outdoors

Nice day for a ride at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Slowly getting some endurance built up. #arkansas #mtb #mountainbike #trails #outsisde #stateparks

Purchased my first mountain bike yesterday. Got to take it for a spin and realized how out of shape I was. Hit some single track at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. #mountainbike #trails #outdoors #subaru #arkansas #stateparks

Gray winter days in the hills. I love this weather. #arkansas #hiking #rattlesnakeridge #naturalareas #nature #outside

Enjoyed some time outdoors during the brief cold snap we got here in the southern US. I love trail running with a bit of snow in the ground. #arkansas #trails #running #snow #trailrunning

Went on a really cool work trip that involved a personal tour of Blanchard Springs Caverns last week. A true gem of a showcave run by the United States Forest Service. #karst #caves #usfs #arkansas #bats #ozarks #conservation

Happy fall, y'all. Here's a few pics from a drive I took through the Ouachita National Forest a couple of weeks ago. #fall #autumn #outdoors #subaru #arkansas #ouachita #forest

Recently took my kiddo fishing and camping at Cane Creek State Park. #camping #fishing #outdoors #fish

Did some much needed forest bathing this past weekend. Felt good.

My kid got a pride sticker at a church halloween carnival down the street. Pretty cool!

Polyphemus moth I found in the Ouachita National Forest a few weeks ago during a run. #moths #publicland #trailrunning

Happy Fish Friday. Here's a leopard darter, native to the Little River system of Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Leopard Darter is protected under the Endangered Species Act as a threatened species. Habitat lost through damming of rivers is the primary factor in it's decline.

One of my World of Warcraft guild mates shared this with me. Makes me giggle everytime I scroll past it in my photos.

I'm ready for another camping trip. I can't stop watching other people film their entire day setting up camp on YouTube. I must be getting wanderlust and work burnout is hitting hard.
