  • A solo trip to Nordhouse Dunes off the coast of Lake Michigan. Starting off at the Nurnberg Trailhead, I headed to the shore of Lake Michigan, spent a night in my tent in the snow and had a dehydrated reindeer meal. Then explore some more of the beach before heading back and checking Nordhouse Lake on the way.

      @@TylerTried Hate to make you cringe but I think it was made popular by the Jersey Shore characters. I love Robby's stuff mostly because I watch his weekly vlog but like the other members of the adventure archives especially when they were in Japan. Remember that one? I am fascinated by Andrew's advanced knowledge of botany for example. If you want some interesting reading, read about Joseph Rock. Since Robby was reflecting on it I'd love to see these guys go to Tibet or hike the Great Wall. Some guys from my university MSU did that shortly after I graduated and it amazed me. Also my step grandfather had been to it in the 1950s on a steam ship voyage around the world.

    Your love for video game music carries over into the music you write for the videos and helps to make them enjoyable. As a freshman in high school i can remember going to the CD stores and buying old blues albums. I remember the woman at the counter saying to me how surprised she was that a person at my age was buying such old albums of old blues songs. The kids my age were typically in there buying up the newest [c]rap albums. It was just music that spoke to me inside and was the reason why I learned to play the guitar.
