This outdoorsman ready for March

Good night and get out, but March is actually looking like ... well, March. 

Good old March, the month that transitions us from the blahs of winter to the ahhhs of spring and summer. The white stuff turns to rain – in most cases, anyway – and the first signs of spring start to appear. The rivers open and stay open, and the sun starts to strut its stuff.

March is a lot of things more than just the official beginning of spring. It’s madness, and not just the basketball kind either. It seems that hundreds of outdoor activities either start now or start very soon after.
