March = Spring!

We’ve made it through January and February, my least favorite months of the year!  March 1 always signals the arrival of spring to me, even though we technically still have several weeks of winter left.

Off the Tourist Trail

I’ve never considered hiking (or any other physically strenuous outdoor activity for that matter) to be a travel experience.   In the past I’ve thought of it as something you do when you want to burn tons of calories and want to see some nice scenery while you’re at it.  Thankfully I’m beyond that way [...]
