I am her non-camping 'Chicago parent'. Needless to say, I am very proud of her and pleased to support her in every way I can (OK - maybe not joining her in a Mother-Daughter rock climbing trip ... I have my limits.) As a photographer, I have developed a great love and appreciation for the great outdoors. I hope you will continue to showcase adventurers breaking the color barrier. Thanks again! Sheila (aka: Chelsea's Mom) Rue,

I've tried rock climbing. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be; it was fun. I've added your site on my blogroll, under outdoor recreation blogs. I hope my readers enjoy the relevant link.

Of course, hilarity ensues. What a great site! We live near the beautiful Stone Mountain Park in Georgia, and enjoy its natural beauty whenever we get a chance. My 4 year old even hiked the mountain with Daddy! I've always wanted to rent an RV and do some cross country park hopping. I'll keep up with this site on my Google Reader for ideas on how to connect my fam with the outdoors a little more. Thank you!

It was incredible, I was pushed to limits I thought I couldn't pass. Thanks for this article!
