An Outdoorsy Carnival: The Final Edition

Welcome to the September 1, 2009 edition of an outdoorsy carnival. You read the title correctly, this is the last issue. I decided that it's too time consuming to sort through the spam, particularly after 20+ spam submissions by the same person this month. It's been great, especially reading my "regulars," and I figured now that summer is almost over it's a good time to step out. There was one post I had to exclude because it was a dead link, I searched the blog but couldn't find the article, though it seemed like an interesting article on the White Mountains in New Hampshire, so I apologize!
