Book Description
"Turkey Run became Indiana's second state park in 1916. Within its boundaries lie some of the more rugged and stunning landscapes to be found in Indiana. Its sandstone bluffs and canyons, created by centuries of melting glaciers and running water, are filled with unique landforms and beautiful landscapes supporting a wide array of plant and animal life. A Place Called Turkey Run captures the majesty and mystique of the park in text and hundreds of full-color images. The work is organized into six distinct photo essays on the park's beauty: sandstone; bluffs and canyons; flowing water; snow and ice; tall trees; and flowers, ferns, and fungi. This book is published to honor the natural heritage of the land it describes, in celebration of Turkey Run's hundredth anniversary as an Indiana State Park."--Provided by publisher.

Book Description
Mud, Mountains, and Sweat is a book that I hope gives you a journey into the great outdoors. This book is my unofficial guide and tribute to the joy I believe outdoor adventure can bring each and every one of us. It includes 52 outdoor adventures that might burst your capillaries, watering holes that might make you sleep in a bit too much the next day, and range in location from Japan to Maine to Costa Rica up to Alaska and everywhere in between. I hope you'll laugh, learn about the outdoors, plan a trip, and find ideas for new outdoor adventures or make you yearn to revisit an old one. It is a collection of firsthand stories of fifty-two of my most unique adventures and experiences in the outdoors. I've included fifty-two in the hopes you can convince yourself to experience one outdoor adventure per week moving forward. I arranged them in a recommended sequence of the best time of year to visit and experience them. Each story centers around one of our five senses to help bring the adventures alive for you in the short riffs I share. Come along with me to the places I (and the friends I convinced or bribed to come with me) have been, hear the stories as they really happened, and be equipped with your own "quest" to start by the time you are done with this book!
