Rory P.. What up man? Long time no see bro. oh yeah, i just saw u last week. I spend a good bit of time on the site tonight checking it out. Man, all i can say is that it is looking great. It is soooooooo much easier to navigate now and there are starting to be tons of blog posts, photos, videos, etc. It has become a great place for someone with or without experience in the outdoors to get information as well as contribute and feel like part of the group. I can only see it getting better and better in the near future. KEEP IT UP. I am definitely going to be on here much more now and i have some new stuff to contribute too. There are a couple of people on here that have added so much stuff that its crazy. Also, some of the photos i was looking at were excellent. I think we may have a few professionals photographers on here. Anyways, i hope that everyone keeps it up. Lets do another trip soon since it is so darn nice out. Talk to you later buddy

Things are good on my end, not a whole lot to report. But I figured it was about time I hop on this thing. What's goin' on over there? (The site look great, by the way.)

We actually do positive impact camping by collecting any rubbish we find on the way. We just have to be careful as there is the risk of needles, spiders, and other nasties when collecting rubbish.

Site Redesign

Hey everyone,

I got so excited about the progress I was making over the weekend, that I jumped the gun and decided to throw the redesign up on the rest of the site. I'm sure I'll be tweaking it over the next couple weeks, so let me know what you think.

Thanks!

AFAR: A BREAKTHROUGH MAGAZINE ABOUT TRAVEL & CULTURE

I noticed a video on Ad Age about a new magazine for "Experiential Travelers" (people who travel out of curiosity and seek to learn about new cultures and discover eye opening things.) The website isn't live yet and the magazine doesn't launch until later this year, but it looks interesting and the guy starting it is putting $10 million of his own money to get off the ground.

Here is the video: http://link.brigh… Continue
