The happy hiker


My hubby has the hiking bug. A couple of months ago he went on a four day hiking/camping trip to the UP with our oldest son and a friend from church. Now he's dying to do it again. So much so that my very frugal honey used all of his birthday money plus some for a new backpack, tent, and other paraphernalia. Here he is with his new toys.

By the way, I can tell you one person who won't be sleeping in the tent. Hampton Inn is about as rough as I go!

I think no matter how old we get there's still a little kid inside of us who wants to play. If we're lucky! ;-)

I'm with you on the Hampton Inn. Short of that a well provisioned RV is okay too.

I'm with you on the camping thing. Cooking out is fine, sleeping out is not.

Last Christmas we got a tent. My husband and daughter "camped" in the back yard. This summer our son will join them because he is old enough (4) to realize he's missing out on something.

I love tent camping and the UP. Have fun Colin!
