Welcome to Bay Area Outdoors (and Beyond)

I've been threatening to start up a blog for sometime so I can share some of my outdoor experiences. As my profile states, I am a GPS map correspondent for BACKPACKER magazine and have put a few miles on my feet in the past few years. Basically what that means is I use a GPS (global positioning system) receiver to record the hikes I go on and then get to share them with the public. What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to provide more detail on some of these hikes and also an avenue to share the photos and experiences of these travels. I encourage feedback and questions and hope to start posting soon.

Just for a start, here is a photo from last weekend's trip to Chewing Gum Lake in Emigrant Wilderness. Enjoy!
