Outdoors in NYC

First of all apologies for going MIA for a few weeks. I had some personal stuff come up and well I'm a poor multi-tasker apparently

Anyway, I'm back and kind of excited about something that showed up in my inbox this morning. I'm a big fan of Discover Outdoors so when I read they were putting on a week long festival full of adventures, classes, films and more, I got really excited. Outdoor Rise will take place from June 17-23 and is chock full of exciting stuff. I for one will be kayaking on the Hudson, an adventure that is equal parts exciting and terrifying (being that close to the who knows what that is floating in the Hudson River... ick), but I'm told the views are spectacular and really I can't think of a better way to spend a lunch break.
