Ricky and the Uncles
We are Ricky and the Uncles–Ricky (right), Josh (left), and Jesse (middle). Growing up in South Carolina, we spent a good deal of time outdoors. By happenstance we have all ended up living in California. Two of us fathers and all of us uncles, we are hoping to pass on the adventure to our next generation and to you. Join us as we explore all of the California National Parks from September 24 to October 2.
