Moment of Zen: Weekend Cabins

Adventure Journal is doing a new weekly feature about rural cabins. The inaugural edition is simply a collection of pictures of cabins, but it makes for a nice quiet minute of looking through. Check it out.

The Top 10 Adventure Stories of 2010

I'm a huge fan of Outside Magazine. They have an app for iPad, so I should be able to get my fix more immediately now and from a truer medium than a computer screen. That said, their blog has an interesting post from yesterday, which is their favorite stories of the year. Check it out here. It's chock full of links that you could spend days clicking around on.

Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I'd go with Hendrik Coatzee paddling the Lukuga River in Congo. Spoiler: he was killed by a crocodile. Now that is an adventure. I also appreciate that it all seems to have been done purely for the sake of adventure, not fame or some faux-altruism that is so popular these days.
