As a passionate explorer of the great outdoors, I have seamlessly blended my love for hiking and writing into the vibrant online platform, Thatawaydad.com.

Thatawaydad is more than just a website—I am committed to exploring the beauty of nature and sharing those experiences with fellow adventurers. 

From detailed hike reviews in the Midwest to captivating accounts of family travels to national and state parks, every page is imbued with my genuine enthusiasm for the great outdoors.

I also revisit the trails I tread, ensuring that my information remains accurate and reliable. 

Dedication extends to capturing the intricate beauty of wildlife and plant life through the lens, with hundreds of nature photos adorning each review.

Thatawaydad has become a go-to resource for outdoor enthusiasts seeking expert guidance and firsthand experiences with over 3,000 monthly visitors. 

In the near future, I have plans to publish a book on hiking trails around the St. Louis area.
