Nine years ago, I started taking my one year old out of the house to give my wife a break. We quickly ran out of places to go for little hikes, so I started looking for a book to help out… and there weren’t any.
That led to this big, dumb blog. I figured a few people would read it, maybe. It’d take about six months to do.
Well, nine year, four more kids, hundreds of thousands of visitors, over a million and half hits, and 200+ trails later, we’re still going.
So thank you to all of you who have been part of this fun, crazy experience!
