Geocaching: The Beginning

Have you ever heard of Geocaching? I first became aware of it many years ago, back before everyone had a pocket GPS on them wherever they went. Back then it was a matter of finding coordinates in obscure online forums and then inputting them into handheld portable GPS units rocking pixelated 8 bit displays like

Introducing: WANDERTOGETHER

Some, most, ok probably ALL of the changes I’ve been making to this blog so far are fairly subtle. The header, title, catch line tag line thing, all updated. If you navigate to the “About” page you’ll find the new write up is no longer about ME (*gasp*) and now is about Abbi and I.

Sipping in Chile (Pics + Video)

If there is one thing I learned in Chile, it is that not only am I a wine person, I’m a CHILEAN wine person! —Nick Henderson After what felt like a non-stop, fast paced, blitz through Peru (because it was one) Abbi and I hopped onto a Latam flight and continued further South in South

Peru…Finally! (Videos + Pictures)

Well here we are again – months between posts because I’m probably the worst blogger on the internet. My South America trip to Peru and onward to Chile happened last year, in September and October, and I’m only just now writing about it. Now, in my own defense, I did produce a series of videos

Riding the Hiawatha Trail

One of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest is the outdoor activities, all year long. We have boating, hiking, biking, camping, swimming, climbing, skiing, everything. If there’s a sport and a season, we have it. The Hiawatha Trail is one of those exciting activities you just have to do if you’re up

Tarpon Rodeo – Grand Isle, LA (PICS)

As I was wrapping up a few extra days of workover here in Louisiana I found out that I was going to be down here during the world famous Tarpon Rodeo fishing derby that takes place every year. Though I was not able to go and actually participate (and party) because I was on duty

Start. Stop. Start. Stop….Start?

So here we are again, a year between posts and I’m writing that I’ll do better, I’ll post regularly, I’ll stay more involved in the blog process. We’ve been here before. This past year has certainly been an interesting one, and there are a few reasons why “the roaming pilot” hasn’t been roaming much at

Palouse Falls, WA (Pics + Video)

Being back in the United States for a bit has been fun, especially being able to spend time at home exploring my own backyard – the Pacific Northwest. A couple weeks ago I set out on an ambitious hike up Caribou Ridge to the summit of Mt. Coeur d’Alene. The rumor was that there was

Jen visits Dubai! (Album)

It’s amazing how well traveled and international my family is. Growing up in Indonesia and traveling the world with out parents certainly left a lasting impression on each of my siblings and I. This weekend is no different as two of us cross paths in a far away land. My younger sister, Jen, is making

Flying with Class…Business Class

Back in the start of March I had to fly back to the United States. I’d been invited to sit on a mentorship panel for up and coming helicopter pilots at HAI’s Heli-Expo 2016, and to participate in the Mil2Civ (Military to Civilian) mentorship and transition workshops that were being held in Louisville, Kentucky.
