Cleatus the West Virginian
An illustrated mosaic of Andy and Beth across fifteen years of trips: hiking a forest trail with packs, scuba diving over a reef, snowboarding, ice climbing roped together, on safari beside a lion, driving a speedboat, dressed up over dinner and champagne, reading a map in front of a city skyline, and mountain biking past a sign reading Biking Death Road.
