The Story So Far
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.

Field Notes
Back on Track… and Briefly on the Side of the Road
Back on track with weekly posts, a Fishing Creek video in progress, and streams returning Jan 26. Plus one registration lesson I earned the hard way.
Switching to DaVinci Resolve: Clipchamp Made Me Do It
Clipchamp kept asking me to relink the same files like we’d never met. DaVinci Resolve felt like a cockpit, but once nodes, Groups, and Fairlight clicked, the edit got fun. First multi-angle trail video incoming: Fishing Creek Revisited.
