Adventures in the outdoors could have been a blog about something real until I became a Highline student. Now it is more a blog about the imaginary and the past tense. It will also sell imaginary and real advice about specific hikes. The inspiration will be real adventurers / trips I have been on, but I may embellish or change the point of view to spice things up.
The topic is just “Adventures in the Outdoors” rather than specifically backpacking, because I like variety and like to get out and do other things like canoeing, car camping, and ranger-led hikes. While the focus is the outdoors, it may include some exploring of historic places, just not my house. (It’s old, but not old enough to count as historic!)
In addition to descriptions of hikes or trips in the outdoors, it may include posts about how I planned for these trips, resources I use for planning, equipment I took on these trips, and also recipes or menus for use while in the out-of-doors. One resource I find invaluable is the Washington Trails Association website which you will learn more about in future posts.
I hope my posts inspire you to find your own adventures. Attached are two pictures that may inspire you to read this blog again. For better and, mostly, for worse, all pictures are taken by me (and may not be begged, borrowed, stolen or otherwise replicated without my permission) unless otherwise noted.
