New York Outdoors Blog features 'Hikes: Games and Activities'

The New York Outdoors Blog featured Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities on Friday. The blog is run by Sue Freeman, who with her husband Rich have written and published 14 outdoor recreation guidebooks for Central and Western New York State. Culled from the experiences of fellow outdoor-minded parents, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities is the most comprehensive collection of diversions available, with something for every age group and childhood interest. The book is available at Amazon.com.

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.
