Cheers to 2023

Does anyone else feel generally tired?

Seriously though, 2023 has had it ups and downs but the high points have outweighed the low points for me. I wasn’t able to get out adventuring as much I would’ve liked due to a nagging knee injury but I was still able to see some new sights and experience some new things. Giant beers in Germany, zip lines through the mountains, riding a corndog, high speed dirt exfoliation…. Check out my photo year in review below.
