I don’t have a subscription to Outside Magazine, but I probably should. Not only do I end up grabbing a new copy at Barnes & Noble almost every month when I go in for a walk through, but I actively look for the next issue to come out. While it can sometimes border on too

I’m in NEPA this weekend for a good friends’ wedding. I’m pumped for the wedding (the reception is in Scranton) but also exicted to be visiting NEPA during one of my favorite times of the year. Since it’s where I’m currently based, a large majority of my posts deal with the southeastern portion of PA, and I realized I have to give
I keep getting the same reaction when I tell people I went to an Oktoberfest this weekend: “that’s weird, it’s only September.” Only, it’s not weird. It’s reality. The original German Ocktoberfest is mostly in September. Started in 1810, it’s a sixteen day festival that ends the first Sunday in October. With 5 million visitors annually, it’s
Story of my life: “I’m going to stay in and have a low-key weekend so I can give my body and bank account a rest” gets tossed aside because of peer pressure. I don’t know what age this pressure stops at, but I hope it’s soon. I have the convictions of a thirteen year old

As far as races go, the trend thats been dominating the past couple of years is mud-runs. It seems that every few weeks somebody I know on Facebook pops up with pictures from a Spartan Race or Tough Mudder. Even my mother has been in one. My buddy and I just signed up for a Tough Mudder in
I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to visit Maine now for the better part of two years. My three main draws being: the scenery, adventure sports, and most importantly the chance the devour several fresh Maine lobster rolls. One problem with Maine is that it is a pretty sizable drive from Pennsylvania, yet close enough that flying
So I have a wishlist of concerst I want to see. Some are unrealistic (Sinatra, Queen) and some I hope to be able to check off my list sooner than later (Gaslight Anthem, John Mellancamp, The Pogues). Number one on my concert wish list is The Killers. Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town are two of
I spent this 90 degree Memorial Day at Marsh Creek Paddle Boarding; it’s becoming my new addiction. We paddled for three hours, at least one full one being spent lounging in the middle of the lake. My friend’s girlfriend informed us that “paddle boarding yoga” is now a thing. We attempted a few yoga poses (none
