Preparing for the Great Adventure

Dave trims palm trees and harvest coconuts on Maui.  Everyone calls him the coconut guy.  Rich folks love him because his crew makes their palms look great and they clean up impeccably.  But Dave is sad cuz his favorite thing to do in the world is rock climbing and there is nothing to climb on Maui.  Dave has been on Maui 4 years.  He's jonesing.  He only stayed cuz he fell in love with Jen.  Jen is a yoga teacher on Maui.  She's older than Dave but who cares, they adore each other.  Jen's been on Maui for seven years.  When she and Dave went to Smith Rock Oregon for an adventure last year, she saw how happy Dave got and she said, "Let's move here so you can climb all the time."  It was a wild idea, but Dave loved it.  Now they have an even better idea... Take three months off and travel the states in a Eurovan camping and hiking and climbing and looking for their new home.  We're calling it the Great Adventure; everyone should have one.  Here's a vid of Dave talking about it:
