Deming, N.M., newspaper runs article about ‘Hikes: Games’

The Deming (N.M.) Headlight newspaper ran an article about my latest book, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities, in its Thursday edition. I lived in Deming from 1992-94, where I taught English and journalism to eighth through 12th graders. Listing more than 100 diversions, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities provides anyone taking kids on a day hike with loads of kid-tested (and kid-approved!) amusements to keep children from getting unruly or bored. The book is available at Amazon.com.

Read more about day hiking with children in my guidebook Hikes with Tykes.

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.
