We’re Jason and Lee—partners in marriage, mischief, and the relentless pursuit of places worth waking up early for. We’re not here to curate a flawless highlight reel: Jason lives with adhesive arachnoiditis, a nasty progressive spinal condition that turns everyday motion into a calculated gamble. But limits are just parameters for better planning, and we’d rather map new routes than sit around cataloguing excuses.
Expect gritty, boots-on-sand honesty as we work our way across Florida’s springs, mangrove tunnels, and sugar-white beaches—then push farther afield when the passports start itching. One week you’ll find us testing ultralight tents in a late-summer swamp; the next, arguing over which Gulf Coast launch is least likely to wreck a kayak on oyster bars. Hiking, camping, paddling, biking, tide-pooling—if it gets us outside and forces a little creative problem-solving around chronic pain, it’s on the list.
We’ll share the wins, the wipeouts, and the workarounds: gear mods that spare Jason’s back another pain flare, trails that balance scenery with sanity, and the occasional reality check when “easy” turns out to be park-brochure fiction. If you’re into unfiltered field notes from a duo who won’t sugar-coat the struggle but refuse to sit still, join us. The world’s too interesting—and the sunsets too brief—to wait for perfect conditions.
