Two years ago this
month I started a little blog titled 'Backwoods Plaid' to reunite myself with
the outdoors while living in Boston. City life was missing something; this
Mainer didn't permanently belong. In all honesty, it worked. The blog reminded me where I truly belong - Maine. The Pine Tree State
offers unimaginable outdoor destinations and country-relaxation that puts a soul at
ease. Those of you who've followed for any length of time know that I love L.L. Bean
products. Today, and tens of thousands of viewers later, I feel like I've
accomplished something. I've met some great folks, provided hundreds of
recommendations to viewers, worked with famous outdoor brands I couldn't have
dreamed about 24 months ago, and as of today, accepted a new career offer with
L.L. Bean.
I've officially earned
a copywriting position in the Creative department for my dream employer. I look
forward to honing my passion of writing, working with outdoor products, and
learning the century old brand that is L.L. Bean. Backwoods Plaid will refocus on
outdoor adventure, photography, and story-telling. I thank you all for the
support, emails, tweets, and most of all, weekly page views. Here's to carrying
on our love of the outdoors for another two years...
Cheers,
Rhon
