Welcome to our Home Page.
We're
Dave and Kim Lippy, empty nesters who like to spend our free time enjoying the outdoors.  For us, it is a lifestyle. We backpack, hike, canoe, and bike whenever we get the chance.  We focus on the smiles not the miles. 

In 1995, we founded
Wilderness Trekkers, Inc., a non-profit outdoor organization. It's purpose is to expose people to the outdoor activities we've come to enjoy.  In 2000, with a membership exceeding 1000 throughout Florida and seven other states, we downloaded it to a dedicated volunteer group now runs the operation while we kick back and enjoy the outdoors.  Click on the Wilderness Trekkers hotlink for more. David will retire 8/1/08. We are currently planning to thru hike the Appalachian Trail in 2009.

Kim is also developing her quilting skills and has quite a backlog of quilts on her to do list.  It's one of her labors of love.

            On his 54th birthday, Dave was given a
Mountain Dulcimer, and it's been a love affair since. The usual routine around our house after dinner finds Dave practicing his dulcimer while Kims sits besides him stitching.

We also have a passion for
Folk Music and Contra Dancing (American Folk Dancing), attending every festival and dance our schedule will allow. We're members of the Friends of Florida Folk.

Thanks for visiting our web site.  If you're into the outdoors, maybe we'll see you on the trail or river.
