About the Author

Kevin Revolinski was born and raised in Marshfield, Wisconsin. As a child he was fascinated by the Northwoods and Lake Superior whenever he visited his grandparents in Ashland. He is also the author of The Yogurt Man Cometh: Tales of an American Teacher in Turkey, 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Madison, and Wisconsin's Best Beer Guide. He has written for Rough Guides guidebooks, and his articles and photography have appeared in a variety of publications, including the Chicago Tribune, the Wisconsin State Journal, and the Miami Herald.

Johnny Molloy is an outdoors writer based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Born in Memphis, he moved to Knoxville in 1980 to attend the University of Tennessee (UT). During his college years, he developed a love of the natural world that has since become the primary focus of his life. It all started on a backpacking foray into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That first trip was a disaster; nevertheless, Johnny discovered an affinity for the outdoors that would lead him to backpack and canoe-camp throughout the United States over the next three decades. Today, he averages nearly 200 nights out per year.

After graduating from UT with a degree in economics, Johnny spent an ever-increasing amount of time in the wild, becoming more skilled in a variety of environments. Friends enjoyed his adventure stories; one even suggested that he write a book. He pursued that idea and soon parlayed his love of the outdoors into an occupation.

The results of his efforts are more than 50 books. These include hiking, camping, paddling, and other comprehensive guidebooks, as well as books on true outdoor adventures. Johnny has also written for numerous publications and websites, as well as his local paper, the Johnson City Press. He continues to write and travel extensively to all four corners of the United States, exploring a variety of outdoor activities. For the latest on Johnny, please visit JohnnyMolloy.com.
