Absolutely Fabulous Review of Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales
Lost Angel Walkabout by Linda Ballou is one of the most beautifully written travel books I have ever read. Linda tells her personal experiences of her many travels in different continents and environs. She is well-known as a top adventure travel writer, and her tales of her intrepid soul's search for beauty in the wilds and her ability to rouse physically to any demands of the setting will thrill the reader. She increased my desire to become more physically fit so that I could do some of the things she is daring and fit enough to do. She grew up in Alaska and has always loved horses. Her travel tales about returning to that wonderful environ and her experiences in many different places which involved riding horses are so beautifully inspiring. Linda also leads walkabouts in Los Angeles. I highly recommend her book as a treasure you will want to read, and then to re-read aloud to anyone who might want to listen. Her use of words is very commanding and her descriptions so vivid you will feel you have traveled alongside her and seen all the beauty of the surroundings which she so deeply appreciates. This is a MUST READ!

Linda Shares her "Un-Cruise Adventure" in the Hawaiian Islands on Around the World TV
Posted on February 26, 2013 at 12:09am
Let me Take you on an "Un-Cruise?"
I'm not a cruise person, but when I was offered the chance to tour the Hawaiian Islands on board a yacht shared by 36 other passengers I began to change my mind. Then when I learned the trip begins in Lanai, one of the few Hawaiian Islands I've not explored and then the Safari Explorer heads to Molokai where guests hike the sacred Halawa Valley I got excited. The next stop is the Big Island and a walking tour of historic Kailua/Kona. Since, I have just completed creating a map of…

A Taste of 'Lost Angel Walkabout': The Day I Became a Sailor
The indifferent, howling storm tossed us through the night. The Hawaiian Islands are 2,000 miles from the nearest land. The waves come in from the open ocean and there is nothing to slow their momentum. We pitched twenty feet up, then plunged down, slamming on the water with a heavy thud. After several hours of this rude pounding, I gave up to the fatalistic notion that this was the way I was meant to go. Since I planned to have my ashes scattered at sea, I felt this was just a short cut to…

Saddle Up Dudes
I think it was Will Rogers who said “The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a horse.” May I extend that thought to include women and children as well? Guest ranches allow city dwellers the chance to learn how to ride and to breathe deeply of the vast expanses of wilderness that make out country so special.
In my article The Last Chance for Romance in…

Hi Linda--
Just tried again with Internet Explorer, and it still says "All Fields Required" even though they are all populated correctly (to my eyeball at least :)). I took a snapshot if you want to see it.
I saw your note about writing for the Examiner LA Outdoors section and I was letting you know about my site (myscenicdrives.com), our forest adventure pass sales, and letting you know about the fee-free days coming up for the Southern California if you hadn't seen it yet.
Thanks.
Eric
