Grass Valley, Calif., newspaper runs article about 'Hikes: Games'

The Union newspaper of Grass Valley, Calif., ran a brief article about my latest book, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities, in its Friday edition. Grass Valley sits below the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains and is a major tourist gateway to Tahoe National Forest and ultimately Lake Tahoe. Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities provides comprehensive descriptions of more than 100 games and activities parents, grandparents, teachers and youth club leaders can engage kids in before, during and after day hikes. It is available for sale at Amazon.com.

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.
