The Sundowner, made her debut as a float in the 2011 Noblesville Christmas Parade.  Donning gear from Nurpu River & Mountain Supply, she made her way through the streets of Noblesville, helping to share some Nurpu Christmas spirit.  Kevin & Kylene Huff (& Tank!) from Nurpu pulled the Sundowner, while photographer Ernie Mills documented the event en route.

Celebrate Good Times: Nurpu River & Mountain Supply

Our favorite gear shop, Nurpu River & Mountain Supply, celebrated its 5-year Anniversary this evening!

Jake & I were happy to take part in the festivities.  Nurpu is a top-notch business:  they have a great selection, competitive prices, and phenomenal customer service!  Nurpu was also a HUGE supporter of our Yukon River Trip, and we are so grateful for all that they did to help make our dream come true.

When you get a chance, check out Nurpu for all your hiking, boating, outdoor, & climbing needs.

YUKON RIVER TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT

New Blog Coming Soon!

I have thoroughly enjoyed blogging about our Yukon River Trip (and will continue to do so here on this blog), but I feel that creating a new blog will be a better place to house future posts not related to our Yukon River Trip.  

We don't plan to stop dreaming and seeking adventures, so why should I stop blogging?  Whether the adventure is big or small, you can keep tabs on us by visiting our new blog.

As of now, my plan is to begin my focus on our home state of Indiana.

p.s.  I'm in dire need of a title for my new blog, so if you have any ideas, please send them my way!
