Pursuing A Life Well Lived

Hello Steemit community! 

My name is Doug and my focus within the community will primarily be sharing adventures both soft and on the rather extreme side. Throughout my life I have been pretty avidly pursuing a life outside. Along the way I, like most folks got a job, had a family. Luckily my beautiful wife understands my restless spirit and has been very supportive through the years and my boys have both developed a love for the outdoors and adventure. 

I just turned 60 and have found that if my motivation in certain areas has perhaps declined, it has increased in other pursuits. In the past I pursued Alpine climbing to the exclusion of nearly all else. In recent years I find myself doing more exploration than climbing though I still do rock and ice climb. Now I find myself with a pack or a bike or a raft (or ideally all three!) in generally remote areas often solo, other times with my wife. I like putting together human powered adventures that traverse remote and astoundingly beautiful country.

I somehow became something of a bicycle nut so there will be some tips on setup(s) that work for me. So there it is. In a nut shell. I hope you find my posts stimulating, inspiring, educational, or at least a little interesting!

Thanks -Doug

Welcome to steemit :) Would you be open to post an verification picture of yourself? :)

Sure. No problem. Is there a specific place or way to do that? I'm very new here. And BTW, that's me in the boat in the first photo. Another edit: Found it in the FAQ's

People tend to post a picture of themselves holding a steemit sign ;)

A nice first post mate !
And very nice photo's.

I'm just jealous of your motivation to do it!

Although I do look at the floor occasionally , and think about push ups.
..just think, mind!...don't wanna be too hasty...
