Four glorious days of rafting on Idaho’s Salmon River have come and gone. Sigh. Words never do these kinds of trips justice, so check out the photo set on Flickr here.

Since my time teaching for the college is up (they hired a fulltime “real” professor), I now have some extra energy to put into a side project that I’ve been meaning to start for a while. The website is notindoors.com and its goal is to bring the news, reviews, and special reports of the outdoor recreation industry to all us average folks who’d rather be playing outside than stuck at a desk. I hope to get about four relavent stories up a day in a effort to get more involved with the outdoors and to inspire readers to get outdoors.

I have some long range goals for the site, including a weekly video podcast based on user-submitted pics and video, but it’ll be a bit before that can happen. Short term, I need people to find the site and become readers and participators. That said, have a look at the site and offer feedback (notindoors at gmail dot com) if you can. And bokmark it. And add it to your RSS reader. And show your friends - you get the idea.
