Susann and Stephen Paige

Entering their third year on the road with the Hooked Village Tour, Stephen and Susann will once again be hitting the highways and byways in 2005 as Hooked Village Tour Managers. The Paiges have come to enjoy the freedom, adventure and daily stimulation that life on the road provides and they are thrilled to be able to continue life on the road with Hooked on the Outdoors. Their road warrior resumes include two years with the Boulder, Colorado based non-profit Leave No Trace, Inc. as Traveling Trainers during which they promoted, taught, and encouraged a responsible outdoor ethic. The summer of 2002 saw them on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route traversing the continental divide from Montana to New Mexico, their third cross country bicycle trip after a northern tier crossing in 1995 and a southern route in 1999. Returned Peace Corps volunteers from Guatemala, active trail runners and mountain bikers, and veterans of the outdoor industry since 1995 the Paiges divide their off-the-road months between Tucson and mid coast Maine.

Between all their adventures they have made it a priority to work together at L.L.Bean, Inc. and as outdoor educators traveling all over the country with Leave No Trace, Inc. Susann and Steve are happy to be on the road once again, this time as part of the Hooked on the Outdoors Event Tour Team.
