Journeys Of The Crew is a middle-grade outdoor adventure series currently in development. It follows three friends and a loyal dog as they discover that extraordinary adventures don't always begin in distant wilderness. Inspired by curiosity, friendship, practical outdoor skills, and the wild places waiting just beyond the familiar, the series invites readers to look a little closer, ask a few more questions, and wonder what might exist beyond the next bend in the trail.

Every journey begins somewhere.

Whether you're curious about the writing process, the outdoors that inspired the stories, or the world of Rusty Pickett, here's a few places to begin.
