We are a husband and wife team (Tim and Amanda) who engage and guide a variety of Outdoor custom Adventures in our area on a part-time basis. When invited to offer a regular column here through the Carter County Post-we said Yes! We love to share adventure ideas with others, and appreciate the invitation to be included!Tim and I were born and raised in neighboring counties, however we both love Carter County SO MUCH that we moved here, and have lived here for over 25 years!
