Thank you for checking out my site.

I started writing because I want to create, not just consume, outdoor writing.

I have the utmost respect for my elders. Whether they're in the classroom, the lineup, or out chasing fish.

I will always honor them.

But now I want to make my own contribution.

Please read and comment.

I hope my writing and photos, as Bruce Brown once said, puts you in "grin-and-nod mode."

Here’s to shaking hands one day,

Joe Mairo
