About Me
I've been in love with the outdoors for nearly 20 years. Specifically, I have been mountain biking and snowboarding since '94. Unfortunately, I grew up in NJ where the outdoors consisted mostly of the woods behind my house or down the road. A few years ago, I finally pursued my dream and moved out to the Rockies. I've bounced around CO and UT and never looked back--the opportunity for outdoor sports and incredible mountain scenery has definitely grounded me.
In addition to the aforementioned sports, I'm always looking for new thrills and hope to try snowkiting, extended backpacking treks and whitewater kayaking sometime soon. One day maybe I'll be independently wealthy and have the time and money necessary to get into all the sweet sports out there. Until then, I'll keep planning day trips and getting out there whenever possible.
Having a venue to write about it regularly is pretty sweet too.

Tired of grilling weenies on a stick every time you enjoy a camping trip? Get yourself an Auspit and you can cook a gourmet meal in any environment. The Auspit is a self-supporting, battery-powered rotisserie, capable of feeding up to 16 people at a time. Sure you've had burgers and brats at the campsite, but now you can try whole chickens, hams, full legs of lamb, etc. Get the Spitmate, a caged cooking container, and slow-cook things that may not stick...
