Meanderthals blog features 'Hikes: Games and Activities'

The hiking blog Meanderthals today featured my new book, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities. Meanderthals is run by Jeff Clark, founder of Internet Brothers and a passionate hiker. He lives in western North Carolina near the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests, so the blog tends to focus on those regions. Listing more than 100 diversions, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities provides anyone taking kids on a day hike with loads of tried and true amusements to keep children from getting unruly or bored. The book is the second in the Hikes with Tykes series.

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

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.
