Living In Colington Harbour (KDH) in Outer Banks of North Carolina | What’s it Like?

Zachary Kenney2 Comments

In a somewhat shocking turn of events, we now call the Outer Banks of North Carolina our home. We packed up our cabin in the mountains of Utah and drove the Uhaul box-truck east until we reached the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Looking for an escape from the relentless, albeit beautiful Utah winters, we’d finally found a new house. The access to water is what lead us here, to Colington Harbour neighborhood technically a part of Kill Devil Hills. With dreams of surfing, sailing, fishing, and warm temps, we couldn’t have been more excited for the next chapter in …

The island of Caye Caulker, off the coast of Belize, is the dream tropical vacation destination. Filled with endless opportunities to go SCUBA Diving, sport fishing, drink tropical drinks, and even a short ride away from amazing excursions for Horseback Riding and Cave Tubing. This place seems to have it all and cannot recommend it enough! Video from our trip there, albeit, a year later, but better late than never!

What is There To Do in Key West, Florida?

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Paradise, admittedly, is an overused phrase these days, to which I am absolutely guilty of. A word that has lost its meaning and also means something different to every single person. To some, an ice fishing hut on a frozen lake when it’s -50F outside is paradise, though far from mine idea of a good time. Most others would default the word to a beach with a cold drink as their version of paradise. If you follow Route 1, starting all the way up in Maine, you’ll cross many versions of paradise. But it’s the terminus of Route 1, where …

Visiting the Bentonville, Arkansas Mountain Biking Mecca

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

An amusement park for mountain bikers! That is the best way I can describe my visit to Bentonville, Arkansas. With millions of dollars being funded to develop mountain biking trails and accommodations for bike access, this place is catering to the adventure seeking tourists, as well as real mountain bikers alike. On my first ride here, I looked down at my computer after hitting a few trails, out of breath, and an ear to ear smile, and realized I had only been riding for 13 minutes. With the minimal public space and forests they have near town, Friends of Arkansas …

First Winter Traveling in the Van // From Florida to Arizona

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

What started as an idea on a walk around our neighborhood in the historic winter of 2022/2023, thinking of ways to escape the snow, quickly snowballed into reality. That spring we sold our Tacoma, bought a van, and then spent the next 9 months building it out to prepare for as much travel as we could in 20224. Of course it wasn’t with out it’s challenges and frustrating moments when the build didn’t go quite as planned or the internet wasn’t what we needed it to be. But in the end, it was one hell of an exciting winter. Our …

6 Hours in Frog Hollow // First Endurance Mountain Bike Race

Zachary Kenney3 Comments

When your buddy, Nate, asks you to sign up for a spring-time 6 Hour endurance mountain bike race in the Southwestern Utah Desert, you recall the minimal amount of miles you’ve ridden this winter and say, “No.” But then, you rethink about it, and misunderstand the request because obviously he inferred we’d be racing as a team, so only required to race for half the time. This gets you more interested, starting to put more miles in on the bike in winter, and even a little excited. Only for him to slam that door and let me know that we’re …

Best Options for Mobile Internet // Van Life & Remote Travel

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The dream: Head down a dirt access road for 20 miles, find an epic campsite, be able to work remotely, and not need to leave for an entire week. The reality: Spend most of your time trying to find a place to stay that will be close to a town so that we can get good cell service to make sure we’re able to work.“Affordable” mobile internet has come a helluva long way from those little jet-pack wifi devices and relying on your cellphone’s hotspot to try and download an email, to now being able to connect to high speed …

Finally Finished My Adventure Map

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Inspired by RoadTripRyan’s adventure map, detailing the locations of all of his experiences in the greater Utah area. I finally decided compile all 400+ posts into a map of my own. For the past ten years, it’s shocking to see all the places I’ve written about in that time. Looking back at my first posts detailing trip to New Orleans and EDM concerts that I’d travel to, all the way to the countless adventures in the mountains around the world. From reviews of hostels in Iceland to reviews of my favorite backcountry skis, the BD Helios 105s. I’d like to …

Endless Pursuit of Trying Everything Once

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

We only get to live this one, short life. Right? Being realistic with myself, even at the less-than ripe young age of 33, I won’t be able to do everything I want, nor see every place in the world. It’s a sad realization, but an honest one at that. Will I climb Mount Everest, race the Leadville 100, or sail around the world? Who knows. Even though I won’t be able to check off all my goals in life, I am damn sure going to try to cross off as many things as possible. As my grandfather used to tell …
