Great to read TrailGroove Magazine Issue #8. As before, the magazine is filled with fun and interesting articles. I guess my favorites once again are the photo tips by David M. Cobb, and "The Drive Home" is always a treat. Thanks again for the great read, and as always the totally fantastic photography.

I'll be hitting the trail this weekend and also next week, and I'm sure I'll be trying some of the tips. June looks bad for me for available trail time, so I want to get out while I can. Real life just keeps getting in the way of my hiking time.

Hey Aaron, another great issue you guys put out! Thanks for using some of my photos again, great to be able to contribute. Trying to get my buddies together to bag our first peak above 8K soon so you can count on some pics from that! Keep up the good work, love reading the articles and tips.

Aaron and Jen,

This is a great issue, and long awaited. I especially liked the article about the AT trip. I'm only 6 miles from Schaumburg, Il, and it's so inspiring to hear from other Midwesterners who have made that challenging trek. And, I'm really enjoying the photography tips. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Jen! Glad you were able to check out the latest issue. We found Wallace's interview on the A.T. really interesting to work on, definitely an inspirational read!
