Midstokke is intriguing

Mon., Aug. 14, 2017

I do not often read the Outdoor section of The Spokesman, because I am not an outdoorsy guy. I am even nervous in city parks.

But recently I happened to read Ammi Midstokke’s column. She seems to be a varied and strange person in a good way. She shoots gophers with a .22, climbs Chimney Rock, rides a bike with a 50-pound load and sprinkles her writing with a you-can-do-it philosophy, tempered by real life disillusions and failures.

What a strange person she seems to be. I will now regularly read the Outdoor section section of The Spokesman in order to appreciate Ms. Midstokke’s curious outlook.
