My year 2025 “Travel Goals” for Elise and me:

1. Drive to Utah with Elise, & we will both ride on a challenging & fantastic road bicycle ride at the Utah National Park!
2. Go to Jackson, Mississippi to see Elise’s mom, Betsy!
3. Go to Virginia to see Becky and Jay Sweda, & probably also to see David Bell and his wife as well. If Elise & I have the time & the opportunity to do it, I would love for us to visit the Huss & Dalton acoustic guitar building business who built my fantastic “Huss & Dalton Acoustic Guitar” that I purchased several years ago! 
4. Go to Jackson, Wyoming with the Craig & Tara Parsons family, the Jeff & Dana Weitzenberg family, & of course our family in the spring, summer, or fall of this year! Our plan is that all of us will spend one of our days where each of us will individually be horseback riding together outdoors on great terrain. On the second day of our trip, we will all go to a great local river & we will all going to try do the  “catching  & releasing of a  rainbow trout” via that each of us will be going fly fishing from different  drift boats where each one of the drift boats will have two of us on it , along with the rower of that drift boat as well, for sure!
