Camping Gear
Good Camping Gear is a Must
The Traveling TrekkerAre you planning on going camping in the great outdoors anytime soon? If so, you are going to need to have some very basic gear with you in order to make "roughing it" more bearable and maybe even pleasant. Yes, you are going to find some people out there that are going to say that you do not need much more than a sleeping bag, a tarp/covering and a few basic utensils to make a good camping trip. But for most, a few more items will make the trip much more pleasurable.

Hiking to Havasu Falls
"by Amy Hope
It was March 2008 when a local park ranger invited me to go camping at Havasu Falls. My response was immediately, “Yes!” and in May 2008, I set out on a 10 mile hike to reach Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon. My trip was three months before a flash flood hit the canyon, changing the waterfalls landscape. I’m not sure if the campground where I first pitched my Hennessy Hammock still exists, but details about the hike and the adventure are still relevant. (Learn more about the Hennessy Hammock.)"

10 Great Bicycle Cities
Great Cities for Cycling

Adventure on Two Wheels
Biking is a great way to see a city. It's good exercise, easy on the wallet and good for the environment.
It's even more fun to ride if you know where to go, where to find a good bike shop and how to connect with local riders. A city’s bicycle community can point you in the right direction for the type of riding you like.
