Outdoor Lifestyle Resource
Welcome to my outdoor-themed blog directory. If you have an outdoor-related weblog that's popular and gets traffic, drop me a line and I'll include it in this list. I take a look and write each description.
If I had the choice I would be deep in the wilderness (skiing, hiking, whatever!) rather than writing this out, so I thought I should coordinate some related sources of self-published no-nonsense daily grind. Have at it, kids.

Jess, I am not posting topics here, just featuring blogs related to the outdoors and my lifestyle. One think you might consider is checking out wordpress.org to set up your own blog. Wordpress is far and away the best blog solution and it's open source. Posted January 30, 2008 |
