Backwoods Bound newsletter features 'Hikes: Games'

The website Backwoods Bound ran an article about my latest book, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities in its August newsletter, “The Bullet.” Illinois-based Backwoods Bound provides information about outdoor activities and products – from hunting and hiking to rock climbing and fishing – as well as readers’ outdoors-related photos and recipes. Culled from my experiences and those 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.
