Northward Bound this Summer
I said we had a plan! And what an adventurous plan it is. At this writing our summer will consist of approximately 3500 miles, at least 12 reserved campgrounds, hiking, swimming, canoeing, train riding (and dinner in a train car, if Lesa gets her way) and of course lots of campfires and marshmallows. I will…

Adventure of a Different Kind: Hoggtowne Medieval Renaissance Faire
I know that this doesn’t have anything to do with boats, bikes or camping, but it was an adventure and worthy of sharing. It’s been a couple of years since I have been to the Faire, so I was excited to be able to return. At first I was supposed to meet a coworker /…
