I spent three hours this morning writing about my recent trip to Oklahoma and Texas after a year away. In my blog, I cover my hike up Baldy Point, a new tattoo I got, some delicious food, and my adventures at the beautiful Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. Be sure to check it out! 😁

Almost a year and a half after last setting foot in the southern Great Plains, I returned for a multi-day trip in Oklahoma and Texas in October of 2026. This blog follows that journey from start to finish. Enjoy. Just before 7 AM on October 16, 2026, I left from my house in Missouri and headed south...

I bought a homemade camper!

One setback with this project has been keeping most adventures to day trips because of boarding and hotel costs. That often meant 10-plus hours on the road in a single day to explore places like Tennessee, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, or Texas. Unfortunately, this has also kept me from exploring Mississippi and Alabama, which I've wanted to visit for the past four years.

So with that in mind, I decided to buy this little camper that has electricity, a bed, and even a bathroom! It's nothing fancy, but I'll finally be able to explore further, slow down, and truly enjoy my adventures!

I'll have a video showing you all what she looks like inside soon. 😃

It's that time of year where bodies of water begin to dip in temperature and as a result, soon water adventures will cease to exist until the following spring. Adventures will switch from water to land over the winter providing new journeys. Full transparency, I hope to hit the waters one last time before the year is over!

What a year it has been for my project, Thornton Outdoors. Over 200 miles of kayaking, hiking, and trail running across six different states this year. Lots of memories made! And that right there is what it's all about. Creating memories. I hope my journeys can inspire you all to get outdoors and explore the world around YOU.... EVEN IF, it's just your backyard. Adventure awaits!

Such a simplistic picture, but one of my favorites! The creek. The trees. The canyon. The peacefulness far in the Northern Texas Panhandle backcountry!

Hiking in the canyon backcountry of the Northern Texas Panhandle this afternoon and came upon a herd of mule deer! Here's two of them that I videotaped from roughly less than a thousand feet away.

There's nothing quite like standing at the peak and looking down and realizing you're the only one there!

This morning at 9:40 AM, I summited Baldy Point in Southwestern Oklahoma for a third time! What a beautiful morning view in the cold! More to come!
