Families Exploring and Enjoying the Outdoors
The C Word. As in, CHILDREN. A word that makes grown men shake in their boots. A silly little word that is scary enough to ruffle the normally unflappable feathers of some of the most bad-ass childless adventure women out there! Is this baby the end of surfing, traveling, swimming, hiking, climbing, camping, snowboarding? Is…
“I won’t be staying here for long,” I said to my lone crew member, who also happened to be my beautiful wife. I was running up to the 73 km aid station, the second to last stop along my 100 km Iron Legs Ultra Trail Run journey. I was feeling exhilarated after descending Moose Mountain.…

It was not every day you saw the world go from completely flat to monstrous towering rock. The trip that year would be extra special for me, as we would…
