About Chris: I moved to Southern California, from Illinois, in the summer of 2003. Soon after that, I discovered the Great Outdoors. The best thing about Great Outdoors is the fun people I meet while going on trips, most of these guys are my best friends. Volunteering for this camping group is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. I love exploring the West on my motorcycle, and there is so much more to see! My favorite outside activities are skiing/snow boarding, ocean kayaking, mountain biking, and of course photography. I have a personal web site, and it has photographs of all the fun little vacations that I've been on recently. I have other hobbies such as stained glass art, gardening, and cooking. |

About Kyle: "Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I moved to Santa Barbara in 1997. I have shared a love of the outdoors for most of my life, and in particular I am up for any type of outdoor adventure: camping, backpackpacking, hiking, cycling, and kayaking to name a few. One of my favorite California spots is Yosemite, where I have been camping & backpacking several times. I love the Great Outdoors because it offers a great way for me to explore my love of the outdoors while at the same time being social and meeting new people. Beyond my love of outdoor adventures, I am also committed to various social justice causes (eliminating racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, etc.), and I have served on the board of The Fund for Santa Barbara since 2003." |
