Backpacking with Bella
Bella and I went backpacking to Bowman Lake, the same place Amelia and I went. Once again we had great weather and a wonderful time. We brought the fishing poles this time and Bella caught some bluegills and quite a few bass. I was glad to get out with her before school started. She is so excited to get outside. She loves to "start the fire," fish, catch frogs, color, and take pictures. In other words, she was in paradise. I hope this is a tradition that we keep doing. Someday I hope to take the kids (maybe the whole family, Jen?) on a longer trip such as Isle Royal, or parts of the Appalachian Trail (AT.) I remember my dad having one of the old Colin Fletcher "Complete Walker" books, and being absolutely amazed by that. That book really opened up new adventures for me. I hope it does for my kids too.

I had forgotten all about that book. There is some good info in it. I should dig it out again. always a good read.
Yeah, great book. He's on version IV now. I read that he was hit by a car while out walking almost immediately after publishing it. He was not doing well last time I heard, however that has been some time.
