About the host
Hosted by Kendra Lilley
We are an adventurous couple who loves climbing mountains, fishing creeks, cooking and eating good food and exploring this wonderful world. Rob is from the UK and Kendra hails from the Twin Cities in MN originally, but spent most of her adolescence and adult years in the WNC mountains.
We also have two fur-children: Archie, our "miniature black lab", and Baxter, our border collie/German Shepherd mix. They love fetch, sprinting madly through the yard and woods, and chewing sticks to smithereens.
