REI Guidepost

We became REI members last month when it became apparent that, now that we have a new member of the family, we were likely going to be buying outdoor equipment at an alarming rate and REI is our closest option.  We got the baby backpack carrier for 20% off, then ran to the store to buy last-minute camping supplies.  The co-op is $20 and you're a member for life which gets you around 10% back each year - that seemed like a pretty good deal if you're going to be spending money there anyway.

In their recent member newsletter, they shared a link to their guidepost website.  It's a slick little search engine for finding hiking and biking trails in your area (content from trails.com).  A quick search of the DC area brings up hundreds of options from local parks to state and national trails, which is great for when I want to go out with that baby backpack.
