										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Off the Beaten Path with Chris &amp; Connie/BIGDoer.com</h4>
<p>Hundreds and hundreds of articles! Over one point three million words! Over 25k photos! Tens of thousands of hours invested! Tens of thousands of visitors per month! </p>
<p>
<strong>On the menu every day:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>Abandoned Places</li>
<li>Hiking Adventures</li>
<li>Vintage Machinery</li>
<li>Historic Sites</li>
<li>Then &#038; Now Comparisons</li>
<li>Train Stuff</li>
<li>And Random Fun Things</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Quick FAQ:</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why so many differing subjects?</strong> Why have one obsession when you can have many? There&#8217;s lots here for everyone to enjoy.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why do this?</strong> The big question is why not? We love to discover and share adventures with others of a similar passion. Enjoy the ride!
</p>
<p>
<strong>How is this all paid for?</strong> We get a few donations (much appreciated) and the occasional grant for historic themed work. Mostly, it&#8217;s self funded, however. We don&#8217;t want ads even if it&#8217;d go a long way in covering costs.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why are some locations kept secret?</strong> This is to protect sensitive sites.
</p>
<p><h4>We&#8217;re always working on new subjects, so be sure and stop by often!</h4>
