Upcoming Adventure

My next adventure is taking place this weekend. I am flying from Chicago to Phoenix specifically to go to Chicago Cubs Spring Training, but another Adventuring opportunity has presented itself. Myself and a friend are going to climb Mount Camelback in Scottsdale. I have done it before, and it is a great experience. I will write about Camelback and have photos after the weekend. Also, I will include a personal Bio. The other contributors should also be putting up Bios soon. 

Happy Adventuring,

Charley
