Still Craving the Outdoors

Several posts ago, I wrote about really wanting to get outside and going so far as to actually describe a hiking trip that is in the works for some time in the near future. In the meantime, the internet is a great tool for vicarious outdoor adventures and finding all kinds of information out there, not only for making plans for actual trips, but also for getting new ideas, reading what other people may be doing for their own outdoor recreation, and maybe joining in some discussions with people online. This is such a great way to share information and I just hope that people take advantage of it as much as possible.

Just browsing the web has brought me a wealth of information about some things - even certain things just about hiking in general - that I probably wouldn't have known about before I ever explored stuff online. There is this really neat technique for hiking and walking that I found out about called Nordic Walking that is really cool when you read a lot of the stuff about it. It combines maximizing exercising with fun in one's hikes and has a lot of interesting history and background information for this thing that seems to have been around for quite some time now. If you think you want to check into it and find out more about it, just Click Here. You will go to another website that will tell you all about it. Let me know what you think!
