Memories from the Trail ✨

  1. An amazing weekend that turned south when poor Victor broke down in Navada, MO.

  2. One of my favorite weekends of my life, made possible by my favorite gift ever. Aerobatic flight, pizza and beer, a really great weekend.

  4. Spent one day hiking Devil's Den when it was in the 60s and the next hiking Hideout in the snow and built a fire. Played some bingo, made bread, typical week.

  5. A snow and ice themed weekend, featuring our first Snow Creek adventure, a Star Wars themed hockey game, and a nice dinner date to Çe Va.

  6. Hiking at Devil's Den where we explored the caves and I burned a hole in my new puffy, plenty of food at Ramen Nara, and a (terrible) game of Taboo.

  7. Trampoline parks, shootin' guns, New Years bread, wine from Çe Va, watching Harry Potter, taking naps, waking up to kiss at midnight, and staying out of the cold.

  8. We met at my camp site early in the morning, did a couple trails, and ate pasta.

  9. Christmas, cookie decorating, meeting Nap(!), another Christmas bar, North Forest Lights, and Thunder Canyon where we found some really good moss.

  10. A weekend at the Kleinsmith's! Met Beth and Dan, dealt with a lot of family drama and got to see Jacob, golf cart rides, wine and good food, presents, and a guest bed!

  11. Our first split weekend—partly spent in Kansas City and partly in Fayetteville—with so much Christmas fun in both cities.

  12. It's been a year since our first weekend in KC. Dinner, cocktails, Kauffman without the handstands this time, sunrises, art exhibits, Christmas lights, charcuterie, movies, etc.

  13. Skydiving in Fayetteville! Hiking and ramen and skating... life with you is so fun.

  14. Halloween fun, Come From Away, hiking at Lincoln Lake, drinks with Kylee x2, ramen, pizza, wine, ice cream, Mickey pancakes, a half-marathon and a buzzed Target trip.

  15. Halloween bars, bowling, a picnic, Briar Rose, Louise, lots of hiking, some tequila on the bluff, camping and waking up inside a cloud.

  16. A weekend of high culture in KC – art walks, buying paintings and a portrait, visiting the symphony, and... a hay ride?

  17. An extended weekend of adventures that took us from Ozark, MO to the Ozark Mountains and everywhere in-between.

  20. Perhaps the perfect weekend if it weren't for that old lady saying we didn't belong.

  21. Drove down to Fay for an overnighter after a weekend in Ozark, MO visiting family.

  24. More adventures, coffee, charcuterie, and friends. And a roll of film.

  25. Long walks, farmers market, Lulu's, sunsets... old things feel new with you.

  28. Floated Steel Creek to Pruett Landing with a whole lot of adventure in-between.

  29. Saturday 6:47 AM 'Hey.' 'You wouldn't want me to come down there to hike today, would you?' 'Really?' 'I'd love to see you.'

  31. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

  32. Start with an adventurous (and icy) day in the Ozark Mountains, sprinkle in a 55-mile bike ride, a fancy date, and an extra night.

  33. Weekends, gummy bears, stories, WNRS, adventures, over-planning, over-thinking, running down stairs, rolling down hills, and of course, handstands.

  34. The first weekend, themed "It's Nice to Have a Friend," that started with a good hug, an agenda that (almost) had us skydiving, and ended with a late Sunday departure.

  35. A 10/10 hike, nearly 12-hours spent together, and our first difficult goodbye.

  36. Our first hike alone together, you wanted to show me Goat Bluff; plus, you know, I might be doing a solo hike down there soon anyway, or something.

  37. The day we first met – Indian Creek Trail to Eye of the Needle. We did handstands together without a clue in the world what was to come.
