An Awe-Inspiring Gorilla Trek in Rwanda - Brand New YouTube Video
Gorilla Trekking in RwandaIn the early 1900s, mountain gorillas were not known to Europeans. By the 1980s, scientists feared that they would become extinct by the end of the 20th century due to poaching and the capture of baby gorillas for zoos. With that fear, conservation efforts ramped up, and Rwanda's government, along with NGOs, made a concerted effort to protect mountain gorillas from extinction. With numbers as low as 240 in the 1980s, they are now over 1,000. A new census is being done as I type, and we hope to have good news that numbers continue to climb.

Personally, life's been slow, and I've been enjoying it. I haven't flown in over a month, which sort of seems...

Howdy y'all! It's been a while. Life has been hectic with multiple trips across North America since our Costa Rica trip. But I'm happy to be home in Denver and enjoying our beautiful weather this spring. And after getting hurt last summer, I'm really focusing on getting into shape. Being in your mid-30's, I'm realizing I'm not as bulletproof as I thought I was. I was recently on the Hikes and Mics podcast, which will be released in two weeks. Excited to share that with you all!
