Another Fork in the Trail. Laurie Ann March

      Acknowledgments

      My gratitude goes to everyone at my publishers, Keen Communications and Touchwood Editions, for believing in my work and for their support throughout the creation of Another Fork in the Trail. Also thanks to Roslyn Bullas for having faith in my abilities as both an author and a cook and her encouragement throughout this journey.

      Thanks to my mom, Janet Langman, who has encouraged my creativity since I was little and has always inspired me, both in the kitchen and in life. Victoria and Nigel March, my parents-in-law, have been like a second family to me and I thank them for their unfailing support.

      I have the utmost appreciation, as always, for my husband, Bryan. Not only is he a wonderful husband, but he also cleaned up my messes, did the laundry, and took care of our two wonderful children when I was consumed with cooking and writing. And thank you, my darling son, Tobias. You’ve become such a big boy and you are so brave when it comes to trying new foods. Your honesty—coupled with your enthusiasm to help in the kitchen, with your baby sister, and at camp—is amazing. Kaia, thank you for being the darling baby girl that you are and for always making me feel young at heart.

      Samantha Rogers, you are the best friend that a girl could ask for and you deserve a pat on the back for listening to my constant chatter about food, dehydrators, and everything else under the sun. Michael Rogers, you are a great friend and your support has not gone unnoticed—thanks for mowing the lawn and making me smile with the little pranks you played on Bryan. To Erika Klimecky; although we’ve yet to meet in person, your enthusiasm about my books and my future writing projects has not passed without appreciation. Our mutual love of writing and photography connects us across the miles. Shelley and Claude Lauzon, thanks as always for being there and for all you do for the kids.

      To my readers and workshop participants, your passion for mixing outdoor adventures with culinary ones and your desire for ideas are always an inspiration. As a wilderness cooking teacher I’ve discovered that it is as much a joy to teach as it is to learn from you.

      There are so many other people who have my gratitude. It is a long list that includes family, friends, the connections I’ve made online, and people I’ve met through a mutual love of backcountry camping. There just isn’t enough space to thank you all individually, but please know that your support and encouragement have not gone without notice.
