Travel Tips & Adventures

I promised to tell you about the images on my new Website, Hiking for the Couch Potato – http://hiking.forthecouchpotato.com.

So, take a peek at the site and look at the second image near the top.  When you do, you’ll see an almost other-worldly location where the rocks have encircled a watery, breathtakingly beautiful lake.  If you look really carefully, you’ll even see a mountain with snow on it off in the distance.

Where is it?

The shot is of Granite Dells, just north of Prescott, Arizona at Watson Lake.  It’s a park, a picnic place and a fabulous place to hike.  There is a small entrance fee, but just sharing the view is worth it!

Take a look at our previous blog on this site that tells you more.  http://traveltipsandadventures.com/?p=1687

Enjoy!  We certainly have and we’ve been back several times.

If you’ve seen the new Hiking for the Couch Potato website – http://hiking.forthecouchpotato.com – you’ve seen some images at the top of the page.

I promised to identify the images at the top of our new website.

Image number 1 is:  ta – dah  – drum roll -

Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

A monolith that juts 235 feet high above the long stretch of beach in Cannon Beach, Oregon, Haystack Rock seems to follow you in any direction wherever you are on the beach.  Birds and other creatures – especially humans – find it almost magnetic, but it is a protected site.  See our longer blog for more information – http://traveltipsandadventures.com/?p=1134

Return next week and we’ll identify our #2 image.

We hope you’ll visit our Hiking for the Couch Potato website – and maybe even consider buying a book!  Especially for those of you who know someone who really needs to get off the couch and get some activity in their life.

Have a great week, everyone!

Dear Readers:

Since I did not post a new blog this week, I wanted  you to know that I have not forgotten you!

I have just launched my new book, Hiking for the Couch Potato: A Guide for the Exercise-Challenged

and was caught up in details and preparations.

I invite you all to visit my new website – http://hiking.forthecouchpotato.com and see the great new details. We will be posting new places to visit on that site.  We’re encouraging everyone to get up and active by hiking or walking.

Also, you will see some images to travel at the top of the new site – (See numbers 1-4) –  I will share with you in future weeks what the images are about.

Please let me know on the new site what you think!

Thanks for visiting!

You’re invited, starting Wednesday, to a new blog where people can encourage each other and have some fun while they “get off the couch.”

My new book, Hiking for the Couch Potato: A Guide for the Exercise-Challenged is debuting and you’re invited to take a look at the new website —-

Hiking.forthecouchpotato.com

Do you have a great recipe that’s easy or suitable to take on the trail?  Please submit it to the “Recipe” section.

Found a great hike that you want to recommend?  Submit that, too.

We’ll ask people to become a member so we don’t have those spammers who try to take advantage of everyone and fill their inboxes. (I’ve had more than my share of those.)

Also, if you’d like to purchase a book, you have the option of linking to Amazon or Barnes & Noble to purchase an ebook or buying a soft cover book , which will be very secure.  All of this will launch later this week, so we hope you’ll come back and become a regular.   (Also, see copanews.com, which has word of my book’s debut and first book signing.)

I hope to have fun and motivate everyone to be a healthier person!

Back to you soon!
