Rolling Into Summer Retreat

June 4, 2019 • Articles

This very moment is everything I noticed yesterday that I had “Rolling Into Summer?” (with a question mark at the end) on my calendar for June 1-2. That’s because when I first penciled it in, I wasn’t sure that I would go on to host my first overnight nature retreat. Truth be told, I didn’t […]

In Gratitude of Investment

September 24, 2018 • Articles

A friend invested in me in a big way last week. Pam purchased five tickets to the Gremlins in the Woods* workshop that I’m hosting next month. Not only did she invest in herself in registering, but she also invested in her friends…and in me. Pam believes in the value that I provide as a […]

Rebel Rebel Float Trip

August 29, 2017 • Articles

Whiskey, kayaking, and the music of David Bowie are all things that I enjoy. But it would be fair to say that I’m not an aficionado when it comes to any of them. I add mixers to the whiskey, don’t even own a Bowie album, and kayak just once or twice a year. So how does […]

Cycle Forward’s “Month of Canada”

May 13, 2016 • Articles

I’ve spent much of this week trying to unpack (in both the literal and figurative senses) two fantastic professional experiences, both involving interacting with trail and tourism professionals of Atlantic Canada. The experiences: In April, spending a week in Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where I took a fantastic four day […]

Atlantic Canada Best Practices Mission

October 27, 2014 • Articles

“It’s all about the content, not the container.” Wow! What a week. I spent last week hosting a group of trail tourism advocates from Atlantic Canada, sharing best practices along four Mid-Atlantic trails: the Appalachian Trail, C&O Canal Towpath, Virginia Creeper Trail, and the Great Allegheny Passage. The group members hailed from New Brunswick, Newfoundland, […]
