Hiking/Camping – Skye & Craig Copeland – This is my favorite hiking web site. The Copelands live in Boulder Utah and have hiked all over the world. They have perfectly described how I feel when hiking. It has been hard for me to put into words exactly how hiking moves me. Visit their site and be inspired. They are the real deal. Listen to their audio files at the bottom of this page HERE. It’s a hiker’s sermon. Here is their UTAH site offering guided hikes.

Important Info on Mosquitoes & Ticks – We know that many groups do activities in areas prone to dangerous ticks and mosquitoes, and the range for diseases like Zika, West Nile, and Lyme Disease is growing. Our organization, The Tick and Mosquito Project, focuses on providing content that people in tick and mosquito-prone areas might find useful. You can find it here ( https://control-mosquitoes.com). We provide information on controlling mosquitoes and ticks, two creatures that are not only annoying but also very real public safety issues. Organizations such as MSN, Reader’s Digest, Wild Magazine, Backpacker Magazine, have used us as resources for their articles.
