We think she is mainly a German Short-hair Pointer. Part gypsy. Part trash eater. Part chipmunk chaser and one-fifth unicorn.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Where did you get Misty from?</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Misty is a southerner through and through. More on that <a href="http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com/2009/06/misty-speaks.html">here</a> and <a href="http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com/2008/02/who-is-that-wonder-underdog-anyway.html">here</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Any tips for getting your dog to stay with you when hiking?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">This is a tough one. We were pretty lucky with Misty as she generally likes to stay with us and she has been that way from the get go. Before Misty I had a dog that just couldn't be trusted loose. As a general rule of thumb for Misty we tend to: keep her within eye sight, if the trail is super busy keep her leashed, and call her back frequently so that she is is aware we are all together.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">More outdoorsy dog <a href="http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/dog-reviews-and-recaps.html">tips and reviews</a> can be found <a href="http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/dog-reviews-and-recaps.html">here</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Is this your full time job?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I wish! Mainly being outdoors is my full time passion, but rarely gets to actually full time 'cept for a few weeks a year. I started blogging mainly because it has always been my dream to write and photograph for the outdoor industry. Since <span style="font-style: italic;">National Geographic</span> isn't exactly knocking on my door- I had to start my own little niche in the outdoor industry and I've been lovin' it ever since.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >How long have you been biking?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Ummmm...always a hard question because I've been biking my whole life, mountain biking for anywheres between 10-15 years, road biking for 5 ish, and riding bikes backwards for roughly 10 years. Does that answer your question?</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6010226062815386591-4141481153172071080?l=betty-mountaingirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Betty Mountain Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010226062815386591.post-25438129364472890302010-01-21T20:50:00.000-08:002010-11-14T12:11:38.401-08:00<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Women's Specific Product Reviews</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bettymountaingirl/3841914893/" title="Jamis Women’s Satellite Road Bike by bettymountaingirl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3841914893_04c90a83ce.jpg" alt="Jamis Women’s Satellite Road Bike" width="333" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com/2009/09/jamis-womens-satellite-road-bike.html">Jamis Women's (Femme) Satellite Road Bike</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bettymountaingirl/3583652136/" title="One Girl's Ride by bettymountaingirl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2474/3583652136_8108781e2f.jpg" alt="One Girl's Ride" width="500" height="333" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;

Later I followed them to boy scout adventure camp and found that I could be just as good at backpacking, mountain biking, and canoeing. Since then I’ve been getting lost in the woods, finding my dog who is lost in the woods, or basically trying to get lost in the woods at least everyday.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bettymountaingirl/3694239538/" title="B is for Betty- right? by bettymountaingirl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3624/3694239538_26c2538b2c.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="B is for Betty- right?" /></a></span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I play outside.
