About Warren

Warren Farris has been writing his outdoor journal, Backroads, for more than 20 years. It has appeared in numerous publications throughout the West, including Colorado, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. It seems clear that Warren's uncanny knack for getting lost  (he calls it exploring) holds no small degree of delight among his readers - especially the fellow across the way. You will meet him soon enough.

Backroads is, as advertised, a journal of outdoor adventures. Many are off the beaten path, off the pavement, off the grid. And, as the old man would gleefully chime in ... off his rocker. His story about sharks in the Payette River in Idaho is one shining example.  And when he shot holes in the bottom of his best friend's rowboat ... and when he wondered, regrettably aloud, if Clif Bars would stave off a pack of wolves. 

So whether he's chasing trout along Hole #4 at a golf course in Colorado or harassing old men for bait advice on a forgotten pier in Port San Luis, it's always an adventure, on the Backroads. Thanks for coming along.
