Ellie Kozlowski grew up in a suburb of Boston and camped on Cape Cod as a kid. She’s lived in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. It is, she thinks, the best place to enjoy the desert, the rainforest, the ocean, and the mountains. She loves adventuring, hiking, stargazing, snowshoeing, reading or napping in her hammock, and losing cell service. When she’s not driving up a mountainside or along a coast, she’s enjoying all Seattle has to offer with her partner and their dog. Jeanne Louise Pyle lived in the Pacific Northwest for 30 years. Her love of the outdoors led to authoring the first book of the Best Tent Camping series in 1994.
