		<title>Patagonia or Idaho&#8230;hard to tell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Perfect,” I said out loud as I clipped the cam placed, well, perfectly in the inch-wide crack. I relaxed a bit and shook out one arm at a time, trying vainly to coax some warm blood back into my fingers. It was obvious a storm was coming, the temperature was dropping and occasional rain drops [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Epic Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I should’ve called it something else. “The Bohrer Multi-Sport Weekend,” or maybe “The Ultimate Fun Weekend.” Instead, I started calling it “The Bohrer Epic Weekend,” which turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My kids look forward to a winter camping trip each year. But as this meager winter turned to spring and our weekends filled [...]]]></description>

		<title>1st Year in the Woods- Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final installment of Erin Kittrick&#8217;s story of the the first year with her son, Katmai. 
Winter Again
Snow has opened up our backyard again. Nearly every day, Katmai and I wander the hills behind the yurt, sometimes on snowshoes sinking into loose powder, other times in shoes slipping on an icy crust. At nearly 20 [...]]]></description>

		<title>1st Year in the Woods~ Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We present part 2 of Erin McKittrick&#8217;s 1st Year in the Woods
Summer
Luckily for Kamai, his father is a master bushwhacker. With Katmai protruding from his chest like a strange second head, Hig ducked beneath the alder boughs, turning his body to delicately brush by the devils club. He pulled salmonberry canes out of the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mom A Running</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a runner.  I’m not fast or talented, or even an accomplished runner.  In fact, by some definitions, I’m just a jogger.  But it’s how I see myself. As a runner…and a mom.
As a running mom I have done a number of ridiculous things. I’ve run with a jogger stroller or a double stroller, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules for&#8230;Sledding?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What could be more exciting to a kid than fresh snow and a sled? Skiing has been around for 7000 years, so sledding must be even older. I wouldn’t be surprised if archaeologists find a painting of a kid on a big piece of bark next to the horses in one of those French caves.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outdoor Classroom: Blue Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you celebrate the end of the a decade, and ring in the new year, take a moment to glance your eyes skyward towards the moon. It will be full for the second time this month, making it a blue moon. I grew up thinking blue moons were rare, probably because my mom used the [...]]]></description>

		<title>MacGyver Lives! &#8212;  A First Ski Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If it wasn’t hard enough to wait for snow before, it’s gotten even harder since Abby caught the skiing bug. Now every forecast without snow causes a fit of depression and exasperation. For both of us. To make things even worse, she recently won a major award – a package of technical outdoor clothing from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Times a comin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we&#8217;ve passed Levi&#8217;s first birthday and moved into fall, the milestones are coming fast and furious.  Crawling, which didn&#8217;t happen until 11 months, and walking is already coming on fast.  Words are beginning to pop out of him with a rush of semi-intelligible grunts, shrieks and adorable ooo&#8217;s and aahhh&#8217;s.  He knows a duck [...]]]></description>
