Camping = Hiking

As previously posted - we are fully back to camping!

This coming weekend we are going to Black Rock Mountain State park, and that trip will make it the 4th camping weekend in a row. Excessive? Maybe. But we will not have the opportunity to go again until the end of July due to other commitments. (Like vacation! And weddings! And trade shows!)

And really, camping for us has grown into a HIKING adventure more than anything. We have fallen into a routine - and I love it.
