I strongly recommend Hostgator. After my blogs were hacked multiple times on Godaddy, I carefully researched all the hosting companies and selected Hostgator. They have outstanding 24/7 support and it's much easier for me to do stuff on my own.

Many of the activities I describe here on this site involve traveling to outdoors areas and then walking and doing related activities in those areas. As with any activity, there are potential dangers involved. These potential dangers can include, but are not limited to:

1. driving to and from the outdoors area
2. difficult terrain that can result in falls
3. weather extremes, including floods, lightning, rain, snow, and high temperatures
4. animals
5. insects
6. getting lost
7. injury and death

You are responsible for your own safety. This requires that you:

1. be fully prepared for contingencies
2. are in good enough physical condition
3. pay attention to where you’re going
4. bring the proper equipment and supplies
