'Hikes' mentioned on Blissful Hiking blog

The blog Blissful Hiking mentioned Hikes with Tykes in a recent entry on "Children and Hiking". The blog offers tips and advice from Blissful (that's her trail name); she's completed the 2,180-mile Appalachian Trail twice - northbound in 2007 with her teen son and southbound 2008-2011 as a solo hiker. Blissful also has published some 20 novels.

Meet the Author

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
