It was a beautiful day so we just had to hike! Mt. Cardigan is in central New Hampshire at 3,155 feet.

(11/12/05) Always up for a challenge, I rejoiced at the opportunity to tackle the Wildcat Ridge again. This time around I was accompanied by Charley Anderson, Tom Chase, Carlos Davila, Markus Donovan, John Huss, Mark Laske, Rick McCurdy, and Jon Normand. We were to take the Wildcat Ridge Trail and take the Nineteen-Mile Brook Trail down.

On the morning of Oct. 1, volunteer Mike Kloser was among 220 people swarming around the summit and surrounding area of Mount of the Holy Cross.

(10/4/05) Glen Ocha from Perfect Pace in San Diego had fun scouting a future trip up Mt. San Jacinto. The hike was intense, heat was grueling, and obtained a feeling of completeness!

Five gay outdoor enthusiasts gathered near the Zealand Campground near Twin Mountain, NH, to hike up Zealand Mountain. Zealand is 4,260-feet high. Usually we would drive on Zealand Road to the trailhead but the road was closed due to bridge repairs.

One canine and 13 human Adventurers from Washington DC's gay outdoors club gathered near Camp Roosevelt to execute a circuit hike and visit popular Kennedy Peak.

Imagine a cross between the reality shows, Survivor, The Surreal Life and the twisted cartoon Drawn Together.  Set it in the state of Alaska, the last frontier and land of 100,000 lakes and glaciers and you can begin to imagine what is was like to tour with  Out In Alaska.

(9/12/05) Our mission: delivering a Caring Fore Women bracelet to Mt. Whitney summit as a fundraiser to fight breast cancer.

While Tomas Izo and I were obsessing over which flavors of Balance Bars we should pack for our six-hour adventure race, we received a call from Kristina Eckholm, our third teammate, that put our concerns into perspective.

Ya gotta love winter in the Northeast. The fourth season transforms our highest peaks into wind-scoured alpine islands of snow and ice, as spectacular as they are challenging. Stepping into the artic above-treeline world provides great adventure, bringing you into the domain of some of Nature's most primal forces. Trails sheltered below treeline can be equally thrilling as they clamber over icy boulders and ascend steep snow-covered slopes.

1954 saw three boys come in to the world, one in Maine, one in Vermont and one in New Hampshire. As the who was born in Vermont, I came to know the other two in the last 10 years, initially through my membership in Chiltern Mountain Club. To say that I've come to respect and admire these men is an understatement; to say that I've enjoyed some of the more significant outdoor activities of my life with them is the praise I want to give them. Our last birthday boy is GayOutdoors founder and President, Mike Boisvert 

You're already fitness walking several times a week – great! Ready to step it up a bit? There are several ways to turn walks into workouts without significantly breaking stride. They just involve a little creativity and walking outside of the box, as it were. "A few simple techniques can help maximize the benefits of your walk and make it more of an overall body workout," says Jo Ann Taylor, owner and founder of The Walking Connection, the nation's leading walking organization.
