Chris & Connie “BIGDoer” – Off the beaten path
Join us as we explore the world around us. We hike, scramble, bike and go on adventures in out of the way and unusual places. Places off the beaten path._________BIGDOER [big-door]
NOUN. A compound (or portmanteau) word arrived from the names Connie BIGgart and Chris DOERing, the two fanatics who run this place.
1) A passion to get out there to learn and explore. 2) Being eccentric and just a little bit crazy in everything you do. 3) Shunning the ordinary. 4) Never doing anything normal, EVER!
