When it comes to outdoor activity, it appears that the West and the East Coast get all the love. That is where the mountains are, after all. But that doesn’t the middle of the country doesn’t have great outdoor attractions.

Spring is coming, really? While we may be in the dead of winter, spring is – believe it or not – just a month or two away. And if you live in the South or West Coast, it may already be here, in a sense. When it comes, it’ll be time to look for a nice, light spring jacket, if you haven’t one already
