My goal, be less goal oriented :D


I’d like to make some progress on my AFC project, spending 3-4 days at a time up there hiking and documenting sites.

I’d like to explore more in NE Utah (Vernal, Flaming Gorge, etc)

I‘d like camp more. I don’t know my 2023 numbers but I suspect 40’ish.

I’d like Candace to be able to park in the garage :D

Make RME Rockcrawling Again!

My 2024 Goals include planning more RME trips, both hard rock crawling in the TJ and more mild back country camping trips with the Gladiator over a long weekend. I need to get more work done setting the Gladiator up for camping out of.

  • Hanging Tree
  • Montrose trails
  • Sand Hollow
  • Moab (Pritchett, Pickle, Moab Rim, Cliffhanger, Kane Creek, etc)
  • Holy Cross
  • Montezuma Canyon / Alstrom / Escalante
  • RME Trip up 21 Road & Billings Canyon / the Cutoff
  • I'd like to attempt Hard Nox since it's nearby
And anything else fun that comes up over time!

January Update:
  1. I am 17,489 steps behind due to traveling and not getting 10k steps for a few days. I am whittling that down by walking more each day to get caught up.
  2. I camped exactly 1 night in January
  3. 1 night so far toward the 45 night goal.
  4. I have listened to 4 books so far. I listen to the books when I walk at night and when I drive so I am getting loads of time listening. I am out of Audible credits, so I will get caught up on podcasts until I get my next credit and select my next book.
    1. Breath - James Nestor
    2. Endurance - Alfred Lansing
    3. The Secret War With Iran - Ronen Bergman
    4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
  5. Didn't ride my MTN bike at all yet. With the warm weather, I could get it out and ride Antelope Island, or take it south next time I head to the home office for work. This will likely be more of a spring through fall goal.
  6. I missed 1 date in a week with my wife, so have to get 2 in a week soon to make up for it.
  7. I didn't get a One on One with my daughter in January, but got one with my son. Need to get 2 with my Daughter soon to get caught up.
  8. Got a One on One with my married son.
  9. Drove several new to me dirt roads in January so certainly on track for this one.
I didn't hike any peaks, drive any of my goal trails, or hike any of my goal slots in January. I do expect to get some of the Slot canyons in February.

February Update:
  1. I am 16,813 steps ahead thanks to a few hikes and a business trip that required walking long distnaces in Las Vegas.
  2. I camped 4 nights in February
  3. I have camped 5 nights toward the 45 night goal. 60 will still be a stretch, but within reach still.
  4. I have listened to 5 books so far:
    1. Breath - James Nestor
    2. Endurance - Alfred Lansing
    3. The Secret War With Iran - Ronen Bergman
    4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
    5. The Terminal List - Jack Carr
  5. Still haven't ridden my MTN bike yet. Soon!
  6. I have averaged 1 date per week with my wife and am on track for this one.
  7. I am 1 one on one behind with my daughter, but am on track with my youngest. Need to do better with my daughter.
  8. I am well ahead regarding one on ones with my oldest.
  9. Drove several new to me dirt roads in February so still on track with this as well.
I didn't hike any peaks, drive any of my goal trails, or hike any of my goal slots in February. I did hike some slot canyons in Feb, just not the ones on my list. I do anticipate getting some of them checked off in March though.

March Update, 1/4th of the year is past:
  1. I am 22,978 steps ahead which is good since I injured my back last week and will no doubt fall short of my step goals for a week or so recuperating.
  2. I camped 6 nights in March
  3. I have camped 11 nights YTD. 60 will still be a stretch, but within reach still.
  4. I have listened to 7 books so far:
    1. Breath - James Nestor
    2. Endurance - Alfred Lansing
    3. The Secret War With Iran - Ronen Bergman
    4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
    5. The Terminal List - Jack Carr
    6. The Art of War - Sun Tzu
    7. Saving Bravo - Stephan Talty
  5. Rode my MTN bike 1 time - It was a blast. Looking forward to healing up and getting out 3-5 times a week as weather permits.
  6. I missed one weekly date with my wife. I will make it up this week.
  7. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my daughter and youngest son.
  8. I am well ahead regarding one on ones with my oldest.
  9. Drove a few new to me dirt roads in March so still on track with this as well.
  10. Hiked Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyons in March. Cool canyons!
I didn't hike any peaks or drive any of my goal trails in March. I don't expect to get any of them in April either, but hopefully will get some more slot canyons if time permits.
