So far... all 50 states except ND, SD, HI, and ME. Alberta, BC, MEX, Scotland, Nepal, India, and NZ. Future: Iceland, Scotland (again), Baja, Ontario, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Foundland, and Australia (and oh ND, SD, HI, and, ME).
Typically do between 6-12 expeditions per year, some as short as 4 days and others as long as 5 weeks. I work full-time, but have a flexible schedule to allow time to go exploring.
