relax outside!

If you're like me, you're getting tired of the high gas prices affecting everything you do. And I do mean everything! From flying to off roading to simply driving to work and back, its getting out of hand.

There's something I CAN do that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg, though, and I can invololve the entire family, including Gordon Leaf-Killer… I can go hiking!

There are no less than 4 different places to hike within a few miles of my house. (A great benefit to living in hickoryville.) If I don't mind driving for 15 or 20 minutes, there are even more places to hike that are not burdened with dozens of other people with the same idea as me.

If the cost of gas is getting you down, walk out!

Winter is over in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means bears are starting to wake up. And they're hungry! If you've ever seen the Spongebob Squarepants episode where Sandy Cheeks the squirrel is hibernating. She is rudely woken up by Spongebob and Patrick, and she's grumpy!

Mind your manners when you go hiking for the next few weeks. Make a bit of noise and try not to surprise any sleeping bears. It's not as bad as when they've got cubs around, but now is not a good time to go face to face with a bear.

If you are confronted, the best plan is to not be scared. Stay calm, don't look it in the eye, don't run. Walk away, talking calmly but loudly to yourself. Talking will help the bear realize you're human and that it doesn't want to mess with you.

San Diego's Balboa Park Gets Trashed by Earth Day Celebration

Yesterday, April 20 2008, was Earth Fair Day at San Diego's Balboa Park.

This is the largest free annual environmental fair in the world. Aside from the polluting gas powered generators stinking up the place, aside from the miles of congestion and grid-lock in and around the Balboa Park area during the event, aside from the tons of trash left all over the park and parking lot and surrounding area, aside from the hundreds of tie-dyed shirts getting stoned in the parking lot, aside from the wall to wall bodies everywhere, Balboa Park was the place to go this weekend to use massive amounts of energy and generate tons of trash and pollution to show hundreds of energy-saving, green products to help stop man made global warming, err, I mean climate change.

It's amazing how much disregard for nature there is at these events intended to, you know… protect nature.

Mike Massey was so thrilled with the previous post about all their awesome brand-based coupons, that he wanted us to push out an EXCLUSIVE COUPON CODE for 10% off your entire purchase. It’s simple, just go to MasseysOutfitters.com and when it’s time to check out use coupon code “CROSSROADS” (without the quotes). You’ll get 10% off on the entire purchase!

Oh yeah and don’t forget, if you spend $75 or more you’ll also get FREE SHIPPING. Can’t beat that…

There are MANY killer deals/coupons from MasseysOutfitters.com right now!

Got an email from the owner of the store, Mike Massey. He asked that we feature an array of new brand-based coupons that will give you 10% off your purchase. We went to add the deals here, and quickly fell into shock (in a good way) because there are literally 100 coupons to choose from. This is not a joke. You can find 10% off deals right now from MasseysOutfitters.com and many of the top brand outdoor gear companies they carry.

Instead of listing them all here (it would be a very long list), we’re going to direct you to their merchant details page on OGE. All coupons will be valid until June 30th.

Camping on a beach is one of my most favorable camping spots

Beach weather is almost upon us. Except for those of us lucky enough to live in warm climates like San Diego, in which case beach weather is already upon us.

From California to Florida, the beach camping scene is gearing up to be a good one. If you've never been, you owe it to yourself at least once. And I'm not talking about RV camping either. Get your butt out there in the sand, in a tent and sleeping bag, and enjoy yourself.

Camping on a beach can be very relaxing, especially if you're lucky enough to find a place where there aren't a lot of people. The sound of the waves crashing all night should make for an extremely relaxing sleep, and the smell of the fresh, salt air will take away the worries of modern civilization.
