Chronicling the adventures of a middle-aged woman re-discovering and exploring the Great Outdoors (solo!), after a 20+year absence: camping for the first time; biking; hiking; and whatever other new & fun outdoorsy things that come my way. Hopefully, my adventures will inspire other women, especially ones who think they're "too old for that kind of stuff" to get Outdoors and find energy, rejuvenation, and self-confidence in Nature.

"AMC Guide to Winter Hiking and Camping"
I devour this book with energy. It's stuffed full of information I need to know - the essentials of staying safe, warm, and uninjured in harsh conditions. This knowledge is the difference between having fun outdoors in the winter vs survival. Everything from planning, getting to and from the adventure, eating and dressing properly, gear, tent and sleeping supplies ... The more I learn, the more aware I am of what can go wrong out in the cold. But the knowledge also gives me more confidence, and builds the enthusiasm to get outside - even in winter.
