See more snowkiting photos I trudge across the ice, following Rachael Miller, my snowkiting instructor, onto frozen Lake Champlain. My classmates tower over me–one with a need for speed, another just looking to shorten a long Vermont winter. Me? I’m a 5-foot 2-inch schoolteacher who’s looking for a new challenge. On the lake, fellow riders […]
The most wonderful part of winter in New England is Christmas in Vermont. See how three towns – Grafton, Chester, and Woodstock – celebrate their own Christmas in Vermont.
Blog Reader Alert – Attention/Achtung/Attenzione/Faites Attention: For those who cannot make it through an entire New England Outdoor Adventure post, first, I am sorry since I try my best to be engaging and make you want to read to the end. However, I also realize that things happen and sometimes you just need to stop […]
One of the things I notice often when I go for a run is litter. I’ve bored many friends with my concept for a Dunkin Donuts anti-littering education campaign inspired by the countless discarded coffee cups on the side of roads. When I was little, I considered litterbugs to be very bad people. Now, I […]
There are people who hike year-round. I am not one of those people. For me, fall is the perfect time to hike. Actually, the fall before hunting season is the perfect time to hike.

Right now, Flo’s Hot Dogs in southern Maine, on Route 1 in Kittery, and Fred’s Franks in Wakefield, Massachusetts (exit 40 off Route 128 at the roundabout), are topping my […]
Even an outdoor adventure blogger needs to go on vacation every now and then. I am planning on swimming, running, sailing my Sunfish, kayaking, reading and hammocking every day. Anyway, if you are wondering where I am or what is up, that is it.
I am about to write the most obvious statement: It’s been raining a lot lately. And my follow up to that statement is: I’d like it to stop so I can play outside again. Yesterday I headed out for a run. Even though the sky was gray, it was decidedly brighter than about a half […]
Though I have never gone, I used to day dream about soaring through the air – hang gliding. Bungee jumping, nah. Skydiving, no thanks. But hang gliding? Sign me up. I contemplated adding a hang glider to my Christmas list one year, until my mom squashed the idea by explaining that, “Hang gliders are very […]
