Chasing Waterfalls… And Tornadoes.

Every Summer, amid working our respective jobs and participating in our hobbies of choice (which are usually shared and therefore we do them together,) my longtime/lifetime friend Sean and I try to carve out a weekend where we travel out of the city or out of state together to visit somewhere newish and have a […]
