I am the sort of person who reads Consumer Reports before making major purchases, and I am usually looking for great products at reasonable prices. I don't need to own a lot of stuff, but want what I have to be good.

I came to Epinions out of curiosity, but I have stayed because I enjoy reading and, especially, writing opinions. I take pride in my work, and try to make every opinion an essay worth reading, but my favorites are the reviews of the National Parks, Monuments, and other outdoor experiences. If you read these, please take time to let me know what you think. If you want more information about a particular place or trip, feel free to email me. Every person who comes to love some small corner of the wilderness is another person who can help us preserve what little we have left.
