Jonathan Longnecker / January 14, 2019

If you’ve already caught our 2018 year end recap, then you may have noticed a little something called #tinyshinyhike.

What. A. Year.

We have some epic plans for 2019, but wanted to take a quick look at all we accomplished during 2018 before we talk about our goals for this new year.
