Over the past ten years my dogs and I have crossed the country fourteen times, taken dozens of regional road trips, hiked thousands of miles in all 50 states and lived in ten states on both coasts. I’ve even fled the country a few times and logged some miles on foreign lands. Along the way I’ve written over 500 (!) blog posts and my Archives are getting pretty unruly. If you’re new to the Blonde Coyote or just looking for a great read check out these Greatest Hits!
