Black Mountain, Missouri: Lagom’s First Bushwhack
The perfect hiking day finally arrived! Due to pure laziness, I haven’t been on the trails much lately, but I knew today could not pass without some outdoor adventure. I turned to my trusty “All Trails” app for some inspiration and was greeted with a trail that I’d never noticed on there before, “Black Mountain.” […]

My New Year’s Goals…Not Resolutions from Lagom Adventures
It’s a tradition to set New Year’s Resolutions every year, and I’ve done them myself. Of course, there are those non-traditionalists who prefer not to set any resolutions. That’s okay too. When I was thinking about I wanted to do for a Resolution this year, I caught myself calling them “Goals.” Maybe it’s all that […]
Mission Incomplete: Bell Mountain/Ozark Trail
Have you ever set a goal or had certain expectations and things just didn’t turn out as planned? It happens to me all the time to be honest, but I’ve been lucky for the most part in relation to Caroline and mine’s hiking adventures. Even when we just wing it, we still have met or […]

Conquering Fears at Buffalo National River, Arkansas
We made it! And Buffalo National River did not disappoint! The trails were amazing, yet pushed us more than usual, the fall colors were beautiful, the food was delicious, the hotel was incredible, and the company was priceless! When Caroline and I first started our venture into blogging about our little adventures, one of […]
Just Along For The Ride – A Southern Illinois Fishing Trip
Sometimes you go on adventures, but they aren’t your adventures. You are just the along for the ride. Just there as a chauffeur, the bank roll, or adult chaperone. And sometimes those adventures are more memorable than your own. This was me in a recent trip to Southern Illinois with Hunter. We usually try to […]
