Open Source Vegetarianism | North Woods Vegetarian

https://vegetariansdelight.wordpress.com/2014/05/05/open-source-vegetarianism

Image by Stefania F.R. via Flickr. America is in the midst of a food revolution. Fueled by organics, farmers markets and avarice towards narco-agro pushing GMOs, pesticides and heavily processed corn. Even as Americans think over their choices at the supermarket, several ugly truths rear their heads. Third, most of us don’t live close to traditional farms and food sources, placing us at the whim of narco-agro. Shows a good first step in the direction of transparency for food, and good fodder for food blo...

Into The Wilderness | Just a Bit Outside

https://michelekiefer.com/2014/07/11/into-the-wilderness/comment-page-1

Just a Bit Outside. July 11, 2014. When we last left our intrepid hiker, she was camped on the shores of the beautiful Penobscot River at Abol Pines, taking a Zero day after her hike out from Baxter State Park…. Nothing but protein bars. For a hundred miles. I’m not so sure I feel so idiotic anymore. It started to rain while I was on the bridge, and by the time I entered the Wilderness a half mile further on, it was coming down pretty hard. It was too dark and rainy to get a good picture, but this is...

Just a Bit Outside. Tag Archives: Appalachian Trail. How I learned to stop worrying and love the rain. August 6, 2014. In the rain), but for the time being, I was dry and comfortable and almost downright cozy as I listened to the rain beat down incessantly. Had it actually been storming — you know, with wind and lightning and scary booming sounds — well, that would have been different.). The water was even higher than when I crossed, and was lapping across the top of the logs; I’m not sure I would ...

Dateline: Maine | Just a Bit Outside

https://michelekiefer.com/2014/06/06/dateline-maine

Just a Bit Outside. June 6, 2014. Well, I made it. After over 42 hours of traveling — taking three trains, two buses, and a van — through a total of fifteen states, and after long waits and interminable delays, I finally made it here to Millinocket; I’ve made it to The Beginning. I’m staying here for a couple of nights; l want to be as rested and ready as possible before tackling Katahdin. Alas, it will have to wait — this little traveller needs her beauty sleep. June 7, 2014 at 1:34 pm. Fill in your det...

Just a Bit Outside. June 3, 2014. When I was a kid I wanted to be a Boy Scout, like my big brother. Well, that and an astronaut. Yeah, I was. Well I couldn’t be a Boy Scout, of course. Mom did try her best and found me something that was at the time the next best thing a girl my age could hope for: she signed me up for Blue Birds. I think I lasted two weeks. Maybe. Maybe not even two weeks. I mean, we were sitting around some lady’s house, drinking lemonade and. Was the leader of the pack — I. Was the on...

Rainbow Lake | Just a Bit Outside

https://michelekiefer.com/2014/07/11/rainbow-lake

Just a Bit Outside. July 11, 2014. So the knee is pretty bad. I mean, I don’t want to sound like an alarmist or anything, but it is almost a little alarmingly bad. It is swelled up like a cantaloupe. I can bend it, but putting any weight on it at all causes some really searing pain. I expected to be stiff and sore, but this is ridiculous. It didn’t keep me from sleeping well, though. It was a beautiful night — clear and cool enough to be almost chilly (so whose long underwear are silly. Honestly, having ...
