A 2015 Recap

Every year I make myself a list of weekend resolutions, and every year I set unrealistic goals that set me up for failure. Last year, I tried to be more realistic, but still set myself two separate posts of over 10 resolutions (some, which came with sub-resolutions). You could see them here and here. Every

We’re lucky here in Pennsylvania to have an abundance of rivers and lakes for watersports.  Most of these waterways are calm and easy to navigate, but sometimes you feel like you’re in the mood for a little whitewater.  Contrary to popular belief you could find real whitewater rafting here in Pennsylvania (as opposed to the fake
