Great time last night with the folks from @thehubpisgah on the group ride.

I apologize for the shaky video, new to the night videography thing and GoPro settings aren't quite dialed in. Also chest mount wasn't tight enough and the camera bounced around during the descent.

Still an amazing time and one more ride without serious injury. Go me! :)

Had a great time today in Pisgah Forest after spending our entire Saturday in breweries because of the rain. Stacy and I decided to check out an area we hadn't been to before looking for waterfalls.

We didn't find what we were looking for, didn't download the AllTrails map, and went unprepared but had a good time piddling in the forest.

I'll take this any day... by @tinroofkenny

Last summer, I bought a couple of bikes and took up mountain biking at the age of 51. Call it a mid life crisis, but it brings me so much damn joy. I just wish I had started this new obsession years ago. Here's to being the old guy at group rides for the next 20 years!

Today started like any other day, but it won't end like any other day.

Today, a member of our family won't be with us this evening.

She won't lay at our feet hoping someone will drop some popcorn. She won't be there for Dad to get on the floor and play tug of war with her baby.

This post is really hard for me. "She's just a dog", some folks say.

Anyone that truly knows me understands how much this dog means to me. How much she means to our family.

She's had a rough life. About 6 years ago, a spinal impingement rendered her paralyzed on her rear legs and tail. She was given 50/50 odds on if she'd walk again.

She did walk again. Then she ran again. Things were going great, but the arthritis set in. And the back legs weren't working like they should. I've been carrying her outside for about a year.

Even during the rough times, she's filled our hearts. I hope these photos show that.

Thanks Reese, for 12 wonderful years. Through the good times and the rough times.

She's laying next to me as I write this. I hope she doesn't think I let her down at the end of the day.

What a shitty day. by @tinroofkenny

Wishing my best half the happiest of anniversaries today. 15 years. Only 85 more to go. We got this. by @tinroofkenny

Had a great time chasing waterfalls in South Carolina while camping in Tugaloo State Park in North Georgia.

Hanging out with her is the highlight of my weekend. 💕

Chasing sunsets and good vibes in the mountains of California. Aspen trees, crystal clear lakes, chipmunks, pineapple sized pinecones, local beers and good company. What more could a guy ask for?

Kenny and I had the best time in Mammoth Lakes, CA last month with our friend Breck, to celebrate his 50th! Lots of hiking, exploring, puzzling, eating and oohing and ahhing at the gorgeous views. Can’t wait to go back with the whole family one day. This is just a small sampling of the one million pictures I took.

Thanks to @tinroofstacy for taking photos of me while I’m taking photos of everything else. And drinking beer.
Life with you has been the best! by @tinroofkenny

View from the edge of the lake. 13/10 would recommend.

Some of these has been on my stories, some haven’t. We’ve had an amazing time so far in California, even when the dude at the sandwich shop made fun of my accent. Going to hit up Yosemite tomorrow so more opportunities for photography. I feel like I’ve finally got my groove back. Photography has been fun again. #california_igers #californiaadventure #naturephotography #natureshots #mountainlovers #photography📷 #wander #wanderfolk by @tinroofkenny
