Updates on life from the saddle: the American Western Wildlands linked to the Arctic Coast Way in Iceland. Stories, photos, videos, aerial poems, and more.

Both established in recent years, the Western Wildlands in the USA and the Icelandic Arctic Coast Way are out there to be explored. The outdoors will be enjoyed to the highest degree and part of the home decor of nature will be transferred digitally to this blog.

I’ll partner with some of the best people on the planet. For now, I don’t know who they’ll be. Soon, we’ll see their faces. I’ll share with you the memories, miles, smiles and tears of the road.
