So do you kayak the coast? Or bike the frontcountry? Maybe you bravely explore the backcountry wilderness? Dive the Channel Islands? Hang-glide off Gibraltar? Or do you settle on brisk sea swims and relaxing sunset beach walks?

Card-carrying Santa Barbarans are all but required to participate in one such outdoor hobby, which is why, for nearly two decades now, we’ve offered this annual Blue & Green issue to add a little fuel to your adventure fire. So take a second to enjoy these tales of earth and water before hitting the dirt or ocean or sky again.
