#38 Adventures with Matt and Karen Smith

In this episode, we talk with Matt and Karen Smith.  As they were nearing age 50 in 2010, they decided to take a break from the regular grind of life and set a goal to visit all of America's National Parks.  They were able to do this in two years and have had the adventure bug since.  Matt and Karen are the authors of the Dear Bob and Sue series of books which chronicles their National Park travels and progresses into other epic adventures.  They also have a website where they've shared detailed trip reports and very stunning photography of their travels to the parks.  They also host The  Dear Bob and Sue Podcast where they relive and share their adventures traveling the national parks and give insiders tips to those parks and other public lands.  If you are needing some motivation to go visit the National Parks or hear perspectives from everyday people who began outdoor endeavors later in life, this is a perfect listen for you!
