2014 Fall Outdoor Series

Well, it is the first of December and that means the unofficial start of Winter. While this first week of unofficial winter feels more like Spring, let's be honest nothing says Winter more than the Christmas or Yule Holiday. Anyway, with the (unofficial) start of the Winter season, it is time to look back at the 2014 Fall Outdoor Series. I changed the name from Hiking to Outdoor because I did more than hike I also fished and boated, so I think that the new title better suits this past Autumn. So with that said here is a look back at the 2014 Fall Outdoor Series.
