Win an Olympus® Stylus 1050 SW at CampingBlogger!
Last month we gave away a great little GPS receiver, a Garmin™ eTrex Summit® HC, and this month CampingBlogger is back with the camera that was on of my Top 5 Christmas gift recommendations, in November. I’m a little more frugal with your money than I am with mine, however, so I’m giving away the top-of-the-line, 10.1 Megapixel model 1050!

Skiing the Backcountry – Gotta Get Up to Get Down!
When I was a kid, I learned to ski at the Hoodoo Ski Area and the Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort, in Oregon’s Cascade Mountains. Skiing is also a popular family activity here in Silicon Valley, and we have several friends who make the trek to Tahoe or Sierra Summit, east of Fresno, on a regular basis. Skiing the Backcountry covers all things skiing with articles, gear reviews and resources to make your next backcountry skiing adventure safer and more fun.

Biking is a great camping activity for the entire family.
Hiking is a great and healthy activity that leads to a lot of the other outdoor activities talked about here, like photography, fishing, treasure, geocaching and treasure hunting. You don’t need a lot of money to get into hiking; a decent pair of tennis shoes and a water bottle will serve you just fine.

Hiking is a great way to get everyone outdoors and into nature.
Hiking is a great outdoor activity that parents and children can enjoy together. It’s also a good way for kids to learn about nature and the environment and maybe some wildlife too, if you can coax the kids into an early start.
Of course, you might have to do a bit of coaxing to get the kids to go hiking, at all! Our three children encompass the entire spectrum of motivation, when it comes to hiking. Our oldest daughter (8) actually bugs us to go hiking, while her younger sister (7) would never go hiking, if it were up to her. It’s too soon to tell which side our son’s (4) motivation will fall on.
