Born and raised in Eastern Washington (Davenport and Moses Lake). In my younger years for as long as I can remember my dad used to take (and still does) my brother and I out hiking all over the state. Our favorites were Deep Creek (outside Spokane) and Liberty Lake. Been Hiking, Backpacking, Fishing, Camping forever and it is hands down one of my favorite things to do. There is something about getting up on a ridgeline and not seeing anyone, just taking in the Wilderness and enjoying life. Currently in the Navy stationed over in Whidbey Island, and I gotta say that I love living on "The Rock" as we call it, so many opportunities to get outdoors all year round!
