Spring is officially here and with the cabin-fever of the recent events everyone is about ready to get out! 
This down time is a perfect opportunity for some Outdoor adventure venue research, and if you happen to live in Indiana there is a perfect little spot hiding in plain sight.

Just when we needed an inspirational story the most. 
Watching this amazing battle of men vs. beast is a great reminder of how having the right gear (and some perseverance) can  ensure a story of a lifetime!  For over 6 hours the fish hauled the crew almost 12 miles out to sea. With the chase boat running out of gas and the crew out of steam, this incredible video shows just how resilient humans (and fish) truly are. 
​With warm weather on the way let's stay focused on the future ahead. We all could use an adventure like this!
