Hello and welcome back (to us) from vacation! We decided to pop a quick note in the journal to refer back from other entries which we’re going to do retrospectively for the summer months of 2022. We didn’t write anything up because we were BUSY. Crazy busy. The kind of busy that leaves you absolutely […]
In yet another episode of Adventures with the Purple Monkey, we once again explore what happens when you expect an outcome, but you don’t get it. First, we’ll set the stage.

After writing up our website, we read the whole thing and realized it was missing something: the flavor of who we are and how much we love what we do. Probably a reflection of happy childhood memories, we are absolutely passionate about camping, fellow campers, and the gear we all use to make it happen. […]
Today was a big day. For months we’ve wanted to break from the daily flood of work and recovery to lay down our little patch of Internet homestead by completing our website.
