The Route
30 Days till we hit the road, dedicate life to the lens and live in the wild for 4 months. I thought I would share my route and put an open invite for friends and strangers alike to join up for legs of the trip if they are interested! I’ve got several photo projects I will be working on but am available for teaching and open to new projects as well!
This wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for the awesome folks at Yakima, Eno, The Appalachian Adventure Company, UCO, Platypus, Sealline and SAXX.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Your determination and eagerness is an inspiration to not give up on your passion. I am hoping to do the same thing you are starting in April and maybe we will be in the same place at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to sit down and talk to you about your trip if you have the time. I am located in Asheville, NC.
Cheers
Clayton
Just read your article in ROVA (Feb-Mar/19). Very inspiring! I hope to hit the road soon, getting close to retirement. You have provided some of the best advice on gear and travel. I navigated through your website, now I’m curious on your bus conversion. Will you be posting your progress? Thanks for the inspiration, Great Photohraphy. Dave.
