<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">The mission of&nbsp;<em>Hiking with Impunity</em>&nbsp;is  to provide a resource website that can benefit both beginner and  experienced hikers. The first way we will attempt to meet this mission  statement is through the publication of articles about hikes we have  taken, books we have read, gear we have used, and the people we have met  along the way. Integrated within each hike article will be educational  points about the skill of hiking - for it is a skill, requiring  physical, mental, and emotional toning.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p>
