We'd Like to Thank our Fellow Outdoor Bloggers...

I thought since it was the first of April, we'd start a new monthly feature to give credit where credit is due and to thank our fellow outdoor lovers. From our Why Appalachia & Beyond Exists post, you can see that it's the camaraderie and friendships we've established with other outdoor bloggers and readers that keep us doing this. In that same vein, we wouldn't get the traffic we do for a few reasons: keeping fresh content rolling out, marketing our blog, and most of all establishing great relationships with our fellow bloggers. It's our online outdoor blogging friends that provide a great deal of traffic to our blog and for that we want to give a very special and heartfelt thank you.
