Happy 4th!

Hey, Corey Rust here with Envi Adventures. Everybody loves the 4th of July! It’s the Christmas of summer with family and friend gatherings for barbecues, camping on the mountain, boating on the river, and everyone’s favorite…blowing up cheap Chinese made explosives. Nothing says freedom better than that. But when we think about the 4th, we also think of the sacrifice so many have made to maintain the freedoms we do have. These incredible men and women go where they’re called without second guessing even though the conflict might not even make sense. They go with courage and the respect of millions. So to those who go downtown and protest whatever it is they’re protesting, yelling and screaming at each other over petty disagreements, try shutting up for a second and think about the fact that there’s a young and courageous…

Go do something different.

Hey, Corey Rust for Envi Adventures. Summer time. Vacations. Traveling. It’s what people look forward to for months and months. But when people plan a trip, they plan to do the cliche stuff.

There’s nothing like being stuck in the car and battling crowds while using up that hard earned vacation time. So here’s an idea, fly…

Adventuring.

Hi there. Corey Rust here for Envi Adventures. When was the last time you went out on a whim and adventured? I don’t mean you hopped in the car and went to a Burger King in a sketchy part of town; although that is an adventure in and of itself. I mean an adventure where you went somewhere completely new to see, smell, feel, and experience something fresh. It’s a nice refreshing eye opener to the world that exists outside of your regularly attended cubicle. Here at Envi, we really like being outside and seeing new stuff. That might be part of the reason why our ‘Wonderful Waterfalls’ flight adventure is our most popular option. Society is drawn to beautiful things whether it’s a nice new car that’s not a Prius, a beautifully designed house, or things that naturally exist…
