Everybody and Every Body Outdoors: Disabled Hiker’s Guide to WA and Oregon

Disabled Hiker's Guide to Western Washington and Oregon: Outdoor Adventures Accessible by Car, Wheelchair, and on Foot by Syren Nagakyrie

by 2 Comments

I don’t live in the Pacific Northwest. I have been heard regularly saying, “Oh that sounds nice but, correct me if I’m wrong, sounds like that’s an OUTSIDE thing” when someone’s brought up the outdoors and why I have to just have to go hiking someplace or to see some lake or even just go… there. However, for some reasons I won’t disclose (because work) and some others I will disclose in a sec I came across Syren Nagakyrie’s Instagram account @disabledhikers which led me to their website which led me […]

Take a hike

The Hike: (Nature Book for Kids, Outdoors-Themed Picture Book for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners) by Alison Farrell

by Leave a Comment

The Hike: (Nature Book for Kids, Outdoors-Themed Picture Book for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners) probably is all you need to know about the book. Yet, to expand it is a fictional story of three friends (though there is an image that makes it seem as if they are siblings), who go on a hike to explore. And they find a little of this and a little of that and of little of something else. The hike results in the three of them finding the big and […]

As the crow flies we are already there. As the human walks, it will take a little longer.

As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gillman

by Leave a Comment

As the Crow Flies was on several reading lists, award lists and being promoted for a while. I decided maybe I would investigate it after I noticed a couple schools had ordered it. When I noticed the price, I was “Um…okay, this is a library book.” However, it is worth the price of the book, if you decide it is after reading it from a library. You see, this graphic novel by Melanie Gillman is not … well it is a story that goes from […]

The Other American Dream

American (And the art of getting over it) by Luke Healy

by Leave a Comment

American (And the art of getting over it) by Luke Healy can be slow in a few places. A few times I was feeling as if I was hiking a long, hot and sometimes repetitious trail. But overall the novel-graphic novel memoir is an interesting look at another American Dream. Luke grew up in Ireland with a tight family, quirky and during a time when many young Irish people were leaving Ireland for work in other places. And he had a dream. A dream to […]

Corporate Team Building Plus Hiking? The Wooorst!

A Force of Nature by Jane Harper

by 2 Comments

Let’s be honest – corporate team building combined with hiking and camping? It’s enough to drive anyone to murder.  Add the personality mixes of the group of women on the retreat and the domineering attitude of the missing woman, Alice, and it’s a recipe for disaster.  Falk from Harper’s previous novel is back because Alice has been involved in a financial case he has been working, and it’s hard to tell if her disappearance is related to his case, due to other conflicts in her […]

Before a governor of South Carolina gave “Hiking the Appalachian Trail” new meaning

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

by Leave a Comment

Would have been my True Story bingo square if I’d gotten my act together to write this up Thursday night while distributing candy! It’s hard to say whether Mark Sanford did a disservice to the adventurous hikers braving the 2,200-mile trail that runs from Georgia to Maine or whether, perhaps, he inspired a few people to give it a go by raising awareness. At any rate, this book has nothing to do with political scandals, extramarital affairs, or clandestine trips to Argentina, so if that’s […]
