Looking for the big catch Photo: Times photo by Cherri Crockett

Giovanni Milligan peers down the ice fishing hole to see how fast his catch is taking away the line before he makes the decision to pull it up. See story and more photos on Page 1A.

Over the past year, I have introduced you to some great outdoor adventures like kayaking, hiking, running, snowshoeing, hunting and trapping.
I have heard back from many of you who enjoy reading about them, as you aren't able to get out and enjoy anymore. I've also heard from several people who have found a new love for the outdoors and want to learn how to start on their own adventures.
Some of you have even invited me along. For this I am a changed person and thankful for you allowing me a look inside your outdoor life.
This column has truly turned into an informational, inspirational and a gratifying piece to write due to all of your interest.
I would like to request from all of you who read this, to email me at ccrockett@rumfordfallstimes.com and let me know how reading about the adventures has changed you, made you more active or is helping someone you know.
In order to continue writing the column, I need to know who I am reaching. If you or someone you know would like to be featured, please let me know. As I am always looking for new adventures and ways to reach the various population in or area.
As we all continue on our quests to be healthier, happier and stronger, it's nice to know someone is there cheering us on~ I want to be your cheerleader.
Thank you for reading over this past year and I hope, with your help, the next year will be just as rewarding.
