The Bearded Vagabond

Finally got to see Elk. Have been to states several times that have them, but never been lucky enough to see any. There was only one or 2 small bills in this small group of cows.

It has been a long time coming, but I finally have a new video out on my channel. Hopefully I can give it a little revival. The first 24 hours are the most important for a video to get pushed by YouTube. It definitely isn't my normal video, but it was a necessary next video for my channel, considering the last couple.

After disappearing from YouTube following an emergency appendectomy while traveling in Rio de Janeiro, I'm returning 60 pounds lighter, healthier, and with a...

Artemis just amazes me every single hike. Finally got her feet a little wet on a water crossing today. She is 100% ready for Dolly Sods in a couple weeks.

Last post from our Spain trip. Our last major site was Gaudí's first major construction project. Was cool to see this after the Sagrada Familia to see his progress. Also on a different topic, when I got home I found my hard drive I lost months ago with all my videos and photos. So I should have some videos coming out withing the next couple weeks. 🇪🇸

One of our last sites we saw in Barcelona was the Erotic Museum. Also stopped at the H**p museum after this but my phone died pretty much immediately. 🇪🇸
