Hello

My name is Mike Barlow and I am the Trailmix.Net admin....

As a kid, I used to love fishing, camping, and visiting my great uncle's cabin on the shores of Lake Coeur d' Alene.  When I think about my childhood, many of the memories created in the outdoors are the first to come to mind.  After graduating from the University of Idaho, I moved to Northern California in 1996 and discovered the Sierra's.  I am a huge fan of outdoor recreation and volunteer search and rescue.  Between 2000-2005 I had the privilege of volunteering with the Placer County Mountain Rescue Team.  As my children grow, I am looking forward to creating great memories with them on the trail and in the mountains.
