It all started with an FJ Cruiser, a love of exploring, and the idea that adventure doesn’t need a passport.

I’m Mike: dad, web nerd, and weekend wanderer with a camera. Adventure Adjacent is my ongoing attempt to explore the backroads, fix things (eventually), and maybe teach myself a few new tricks along the way.

It’s not about flexing. It’s about fun, gear that works, and making memories. If you’ve ever taken the long way home, you’ll fit right in. Stick around.

If our paths cross, I promise: I’m not lost. Just curious.
