Mosquito Lagoon Camping & Fishing

  This past April I spent a couple days camping and fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon with my good friend Adam. The weather did not work out in our favor but it was still a memorable trip. I can't wait to do it again. This is one of my favorite places to fish. During the week I rarely see another boat. Being in a protected area you also have zero development and are surrounded by nature.

Bourbon Trail

   In November 2009 I took a road trip on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. I left from Florida north on I-75 up through Atlanta, GA then through Nashville TN. I stopped for two days in Mammoth Cave National Park. After visiting several distilleries I headed east through West Virginia and Virginia. I then hopped on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Buena Vista, VA and traveled down to Asheville NC.
