As a new year rapidly approaches, I find it a soothing cabin fever remedy to recollect on the past years adventures. The places I went and more importantly the people I went there with. I find that I focus far too many of my pictures on the vehicles themselves and I'm making a goal to improve that in 2016. Choosing just a single photo from an adventure is a tough task, but I do my best to choose one that best represents the memory. With that said, I give you 'My 2015 in Pictures', chronologically ordered:

Overall 2015 had me working more than anything. However the trips I did have will go down in my personal history books. My October trip (Colossal) and my honeymoon were two of the best trips I've ever taken. Not to mention, getting hitched to my best friend, 2015 was an excellent year. Looking forward to the changes and new adventures that 2016 will bring!
