Asheville, North Carolina is one of those “small towns,” like Jim Thorpe and Lititz, that consistently pop up on all sorts magazine and online lists.

With the impending official arrival of summer, I wanted to write a post about all the great kayaking and camping trips Pennsylvania has to offer. I went to reference the post I “wrote” about my trip kayaking down the Delaware last year and found that the post, while started, had never came to fruition. Looking back, it makes sense, as

I’ll admit to it, I’m one of those weirdos who writes up a list of New Year’s resolutions every year. This year is no exception except I’ve decided to make a list of new places/experiences I’d like to complete and hope that by publicizing it here, I’ll be forced to comply. Let me know you
My friend was telling me recently how they were on the deck at Mad River in Manayunk and witnessed a kayak bar crawl coming down the river. While the idea of a kayak bar crawl is awesome (I saw one advertised when I was in Pittsburgh that I’d definitely do when I’m back there), the thought of
