My Locale Possum Creek
About Me My son is in his 3rd year of Scouting and we have done some hiking with the troop and more hiking just the two of us. We started out with heavy packs and over the past couple years found resources like this on the web and are learning to lighten up as $ allows.

Option for "other half"...
