‘Hikes’ author appearing at Musky Fest in northern Wisconsin

If traveling to northern Wisconsin this weekend, be sure to stop at Musky Fest in downtown Hayward, where I and several other regional writers will have booths on Author’s Row. You’ll be able to meet and talk with nearly a dozen published authors, as well as purchase their books. Two of my hiking guidebooks – Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin and Hittin’ the Trail: Day Hiking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway – include Hayward and the surrounding communities. Author’s Row will be open Friday, June 19 from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday, June 20 from 9 am to 6 pm. See you there!

Learn about trail guidebooks available in the Hittin’ the Trail series.

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.
