2014 in Review Photo's

[smallfry]

One of my friends for the past few years has been posting up where the previous year took them. So I'd figured I'd start it here with where the previous year took me on my travels. Feel free to post up your 2014 travels here as well.

So here is where 2014 took me.

Despite spending a quarter of the year stuck in a hotel while on a jobsite assignment out of state 2014 ended up being a good year for travel; In which I covered approximately 7000 miles of travel though 6 states either via pavement or back-county dirt roads and approximately 200-250 of travel between hiking and mountain biking. Hopefully, 2015 is just as good.
