I'm a chick that was tired of letting the fun things in life pass me by because I've been overweight.

Arizona Outdoors Activities Group is a non profit Meetup group that was founded by Kathleen Winans, and Marsha Bidwell in September 2010. One of the things we noticed with other outdoor groups was that it was run primarily by experienced outdoors men that seemed to miss the details when it came to showing single mothers, or beginner outdoors men, and women the basic skills necessary to be comfortable, and safe in an outdoor environment. After meeting each other at a camp-out involving cooking fo …
