Unearthed Forest Service Photos
The U.S. Forest Service archives would be an amazing thing to dig through. I feel like you’d find scrawling from guys like Edward Abbey and wildly inaccurate maps of roadless areas. Recently, someone found a photo album of forest service photos (pdf) from the 1940s. They detail part of the Superior National Forest that would [...]

There Are All Kinds of World Records Waiting to be Set
I finally learned how one uses ‘dinghy’ as a verb. One can also be dinghyer and go dinghying. This is an odd spoof on Red Bull culture, but it includes some very real death-defying dinghying.
