A Good Read: Outdoor Adventure Blogs

Obviously we're not writing much on our blog here (yet!) but we are reading a bunch of great outdoor blogs. Here's a short list of blogs we've been liking:

The Adventure Blog: Kraig Becker tirelessly covers every human powered adventure that he catches wind of. That's a TON of adventure coverage. We are not sure how he pulls it off...we're just glad he does it.

Also in the RSS reader is Skagit Alpinism. Follow cutting edge alpinist Colin Haley through his feats in Patagonia, Chamonix, and the Cascades. This is real deal coverage of his trips, including coverage of when things are not going so well. His last post is not to be missed.

High Places: Steph Davis has a refreshing take on blogging which is to answer her email with blog posts. She will answer any range of questions from climbing (of course), to skydiving, base jumping, dogs, nutrition, training, motivation, injury and love...with the occasional base jumping video thrown in. It is rare to find a blog so informative and honest.

And personally I'm always excited to see a post pop up in Geoff Roes' blog: Fumbling Towards Endurance. The title of his blog doesn't tell the entire story: Over time, Geoff has become quite an accomplished 100-mile ultra runner. Most importantly, his passion for running shines through in every post, whether it chronicles a sure win, or a low point.

Of course there are many other amazing blogs! One thing that we have not been able to find though, is a good white water paddling blog (rafting or kayaking). Any suggestions?
