VLTAT 18-1

18-1 was a mid spring float trip we did on the Missouri River from Judith Landing to James Kipp Landing near the Fred Robinson bridge. This is a section of the Missouri we have not explored until 2018 and it was worth the effort getting there. this is very remote although you will come across folks doing longer floats. The flow rate was perfect, the food was great and the company was second to none.

VLTAT 18-2

VLTAT 18-2 was a 3 day trip to Our Lake right near the tail end of the fire season in 2018. We were fortunate enough to have clear skies and great temperatures to take in the amazing views and do a little fishing. This group of veterans are regulars to our trips and are some of the funniest people you could spend time with.

VLTAT 18-3

VLTAT 18-3 was another great trip back to the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. This trip has become somewhat of a staple for us. This is such a fantastic place to experience all of the backcountry Montana has to offer.

VLTAT 18-4

VLTAT 18-4 was a trip we did in conjunction with the Montana Pilot's association. With a tremendous amount of help from them we gained the ability to take a few veterans back into an area that may not have been possible otherwise. Huge thanks to MPA from all of us that got to experience the Bob Marshall Wilderness from the sky!

Bataan Memorial Death March, 2018

2018 was another great year with an outstanding group of hard chargers that took on the 26.2 mile course in White Sands, NM. This was our second attempt at the Bataan Memorial Death March and this event always leaves each of us with a sense of pride but also reverence for the veterans of Bataan.

South Fork Tenderfoot Creek

This was one of three trips we conducted with a group of Gulf War era veterans. This is a fantastic group of women that we always have a great time with in the outdoors.

VLTAT 17-1

VLTAT 17-1 was our first float trip of the season which took place in the Missouri River Breaks. Great group of veterans on this one, as always.

VLTAT 17-2

The incredible views of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness do not disappoint... If anything they keep getting better the farther you hike.

Bataan Memorial Death March, 2017

2017 was our first attempt at the Bataan memorial Death march in sunny White Sands Missle Base in New Mexico. At 90+ degrees on the day of the event it was a solid suffer fest.
