On The Cover - Think 'Outside The Box'

We thank Dallas Shewmaker of Lower Gear for reminding us of another way, of so many, to enjoy the Southwest's outdoors, specifically on the water. The "lower-gear" option for anglers is becoming more and more popular, and he urges those who are considering making a shift to kayaks to "try one on for size".

Kayaks, boating in general, and fishing are just a few of the ways to participate in and enjoy the plethora of resources and activities available to outdoors enthusiasts. During our publication year, we will try to highlight many of them and welcome your suggestions as to what you might like us to feature in an upcoming issue.

Thinking "outside the box" can open the outdoors to new possibilities for all of us.
