Andy Weeks, an award-winning journalist, is the consummate outdoorsman. For five years, he was the outdoors editor of the Times-News. During that time he explored Idaho's backcountry, finding what makes the state a true gem among the Mountain West. Some of his favorite outdoor activities include hiking, fishing, kayaking and off-road trail riding. He also is a successful author of several travel and history books, which include splashes of the strange and weird, wherein he explores the haunted history of Idaho, Oregon and Utah. When not in the Great Outdoors or writing his next adventure, or talking about it on the radio, he can be found wearing khakis, sipping pink lemonade and listening to his buddies on The Zone.
