This book really spoke to me. Last year I challenged myself to spend 1000 hours outside. I traveled to 14 National Parks, but learned it would be easier to spend time outside if I spent more time locally, and less time in the car getting to parks. So far I have stayed at two State Parks cabins this year.... but after reading Microadventures I am definitely inspired to think outside of my box. The author really promotes the basic premise to adventure in your community, from 5pm to 9am- by sleeping outside!! He says to start NOW! Maybe I can start by sleeping in my backyard. And maybe after that small step I could sleep at Hickory Hill Park over night... or ride my bike to Pechman Creek and stay there. It sounds so scary... and yet why not? When I was a little girl I always dreamed of sleeping out under the stars at my summer camp, and yet I have yet to do it! #microadventures
