All of which were made that much better by getting to spend time speaking with readers and users of our books. With our long list of fun authors, gorgeous travel photos of beautiful subject matter, it is always a blast putting our books together, but there is nothing like sitting outside, on a sunny southern Saturday, sharing tales of the trail and outdoor adventures.
