Montana Moments at Mahlstedt Ranch
We’ve all seen movies like Home on the Range (a personal staple of my childhood), or watched shows like Yellowstone. But have you ever wondered what it would actually be like to live and work on a ranch? Well, let me share with you this amazing experience I had back over Memorial Day Weekend! Mahlstedt Ranch is a family owned and operated 113 year old ranch located in Circle, Montana. My family was invited out to Mahlstedt Ranch, personally, by Tana and Ross Canen, who are close family friends, to experience a small part of the ranch life. Their businesses, Mahlstedt Ranch, Inc., and Montana Moments, are part of their…

See Rock City
If you’ve ever been down in southern U.S. you may have noticed barns along the highways that have “See Rock City” painted on their roofs and on the side of the barns. Some of you may know what is, other not so much. Rock City is located outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee at Lookout Mountain. It was mentioned in two diaries during the Civil War, one was in the diary of a Union Soldier, the other a Confederate Nurse, that from the top you could see 7 states.

DeLeo Bros. Pizzeria
If you’re ever looking for a good place with a good vibe, 8-bit nerdy atmosphere and some darn good pizza then look no further than this delicious hole in the wall! DeLeo Bros Pizzeria is located inside the Southdale Mall in Edina, MN. With pizza the size of your face for only a couple of dollars a slice and the 1980s memorabilia plastered all over I can easily say that this is one of my favorite places to chow down and nerd out at. The pizza is always hot when you get in and can only be described as a pizza that you will not get from a Domino’s, Pizza…
An adventurous life awaits, it all starts with a simple trip.
