Adventures in the outdoors
I am a gear junkie! So last year when I saw that the Explore magazine was offering a gear box drop program, I knew I wanted to enrol. Yes, I could go out and purchase many of these products on my own, but there is something about getting a surprise package with unknown goodies inside.

Over the past few years, my crew and I have enjoyed going to the Winterlude activities in Ottawa. If you have never ventured to this region, it really is a must do. Even if you miss Winterlude and all that comes with it, you really need to get to the region to skate on the canal.
