I'm wondering what blogs people in this forum routinely read on the topic of outdoor activities with kids.

If you have a favorite site, are a bloggger yourself, or just know of a resource for parents who spend time in the outdoors with kids i would love to get the link...

Thanks in advance,
Mike Barlow

My blog isn't about my kid - but it involves him <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We recently moved to a new platform though - all my old entries are now archived on our website. My son is now 11 and I have been documenting his gear choices/hikes/experiences for years <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Interesting blog post on your site...... http://trailmix.net/blogs/barlow/archive...-with-adhd.aspx
I can say this...as a mom to a child under the Autistic Rainbow one of the reasons he does SO well out there is frankly due to it. He has endless energy and when focused on a task will do it as good as he can - hence he has hiked like an adult since he was 4. Very few kids I encounter can do what he does - the single task focusing is not in other kids.
