It’s time to look back at an adventure-filled 2018 for Liquid Adventuring. The dominant theme this year was undoubtedly kayaking, with our September TRR Grand Canyon trip being a highlight. In text, photos and video I documented these and many other adventures. Here’s a month-by-month recap of just some of the experiences. I missed a story in January but made up for it by posting 29 stories the following 11 months plus bonus content shared on my Liquid Adventuring Facebook page.

Please help me reach more people in 2019!

Thank you for following these and other stories throughout the year. If you like (or hate) a story or just want to say hi, please, PLEASE leave a comment on that page and share it with your friends. That’s the best way for me to keep this blog going and growing. I hope to see you on or near the water in 2019!
