It's a JEEP Thing


Well, in my last post I included a picture of my mountain bike (one of my favorite toys). I would be completely remiss if I did not eventually post a picture of my beloved Jeep. Here she is during one of our quests for a bay that had thawed enough to paddle in.

Spring Already?

I know the groundhog saw its shadow and 6 more weeks of winter are on the way. But, it sure has felt like spring the past few days. With temp's in the 50's most of the ice and snow have melted away. Like most paddlers socked in by frozen water, I was dying for the chance to paddle during last weekend's warm weather. To my dismay, however, the wind was blowing something fierce. But, this made it the perfect opportunity to get my daughter out in our bike trailer and head to our favorite beach. Paddling will just have to wait for another day.

Trekalong.com

So, this is very exciting... I've been asked to join the "Trekalong Network", a collaboration of outdoor and adventure writers from Menasha Ridge Press, Clerisy Press, and Wilderness Press. They started up a new blog for me called Paddle New York where I'll be posting about my book, my paddling adventures, and anything else that pops up inbetween. I'll keep posting here as well and will try my best to keep each as unique as possible.

In the meantime, check out the other writers on trekalong.com. "Trek tech" is one of my favorites!
