Two weeks ago, I finally had the opportunity to meet an extraordinary woman and her companion: a Washington-based veterinarian and Leave No Trace advocate and her yellow Labrador Retriever, Mitchell. Towing her dog in a trailer, she will bike across the country in 2009, teaching Leave No Trace along the way. We hope to have great stories and photos to share with you about Fisher’s travels throughout the year. We do not yet have photos of Mitchell and companion thus the photo included is merely in place to whet your appetite.
The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.

Dog and Woman Take to the Bike

What an exciting adventure! I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and I teach in an urban public school. I teach 4 classes called Empowering Urban Youth and I would love to have my students chart your bike route, or become involved in some way. Have a website? Best of luck to you!
