Where Black People & Nature Meet

When was the last time you saw African Americans hiking, skiing or camping in a tent or RV?

They are out there, but not in the numbers that reflect their presence in the U.S. population.

Why is that?

And how can involvement in outdoor activities enhance the lives of African Americans?

These are some of the questions Rue Mapp of Oakland, Calif. is exploring
through OutdoorAfro.com , a website she founded to reconnect African Americans with the Great Outdoors.

OutdoorAfro.com is filled with stories, photos, event listings and other resources that educate, motivate and inspire African Americans.

You’ll find photos, videos and blog postings of African Africans who enjoy bicycling, hiking, camping, birdwatching and outdoor photography as well as skiing, rock climbing, whitewater rafting and scuba diving.

Read through the discussion groups, blog postings and event calendar and you’ll quickly discover there are many African Americans across the country who are eager to interact in nature with other African Americans. The challenge, of course, is to find them. But that’s where OutdoorAfro.com can help.

Here you’ll meet people like Winston Walker, an African American hiking enthusiast from Colorado who frequently leads hikes to scenic destinations across the country.

Or people like Clifton Sorrel, who writes a blog called “Trekking for Life.” Or people like Jeremy Thomas, an African American bicycling enthusiast who teaches at an environmental school in Portland, Ore.

Some of OutdoorAfro members even exchange healthy recipes with one another and share photos, videos and descriptions of their trips to scenic destinations as diverse as Belize and Denali National Park in Alaska.

“We’re like a platform where people can be visible to each other,” Mapp said.

Indeed. Since it was founded two years ago, more than 7,000 African Americans have become active members of OutdoorAfro.com, and the numbers are growing.

All of them are passionate about the outdoors and are eager to find other African Americans to enjoy activities with.

Various members and groups with organized activities are also posting information on the site, which is unique in helping African Americans find outdoor activities with other African Americans.

Our Teardrop Trailer | Woodworking 4 Home

@joshuaacrosby – I began by searching the internet and looking at what other people had built. I used to build boats for a living, and when I saw these… I thought to myself, “I can make one of these!” So I bought the trailer and started building without plans. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, so it went together rather quickly. If you are handy with tools, there is plenty of help on the net to get the job done. If you are a first timer… plans will help. Thanks for checking us out!
