I'm Emily and I'm a freelance writer from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I am an avid camper and hiker who picked up the bug at a young age, I have just about visited all the places worth seeing in the Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin area as well as other places in The Unites States and Canada. I am an avid supporter of animal rights and also an advocate for better environmental practices that lower pollution and keep the environment I love so much healthy. I have one dog named Nibbler (yes, he is named after Nibbler on Futurama), a Pug/Jack Russell Terrier mix, who has been my constant partner in crime. On the weekends I volunteer at the local Fort Wayne animal shelter in which I adopted Nibbler with my boyfriend. In my spare few moments of free time I enjoy cooking new recipes from cuisine all over the world and playing more than a few different video games, though in the summer time I enjoy a leisurely day of fishing just as much as a good hike.

It is easy to feel trapped by city life and for many they think that escaping into the great outdoors requires careful planning and a whole bunch of gear. However, there are wilderness adventures in the United States hiding right within city limits; the kind of adventures that you can take a city bus to and yet feel as though you travelled hundreds of miles outside of town. The Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail is one of those sort of adventures. Although the trail is hosted in one of the largest urban parks in the United States–Fairmont Park–the Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail is something of an enigma. On a map it looks like it is far too close to the surrounding sprawling city of Philadelphia to be enjoyable, but once on the trail, the surrounding scenery doesn’t look like it is anywhere near civilization.

Camping can be great fun when you’re young, but after awhile sleeping on the cold hard ground with a tree root digging into the back loses its charm. Camping gets boring too and slowly but surely many who were once avid outdoors people just decide to stay home instead of getting out there. However, there is a new concept in camping that is rejuvenating the experience for those that want to return to the great outdoors. Tree camping is becoming a hot new craze where instead of sleeping on the ground, campers spend their night dangling in the air from a tree.
