http://blogs.bootsnall.com/stomps/my-first-published-article.html I've lived in Houston--pretty much the flattest place in the world--for 22 years. I'm ready to get out, which is why I am planning an extended backpacking trip across New Zealand, starting in January 2008. There, not only will I get to see all the hills my heart desires, but I might even see blue water, too! Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:46:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3
