I am so enjoying the blog and loving the pictures. What a perfect way to spend a day…playing in streams with sticks, sleeping, and hiking! So many great memories. Wishing you many more to come.
I camped at Wolf Creek the summer after 9th grade…..not that long ago…..it was only 1973! Cutters mosquito repellent was my friend!
the map is very helpful since my education in geography was somewhat lacking during my tenure at Lawrence Jr. and High school!
Just wanted to say hello and let you know we are thinking of you! Continue having a wonderful time.
Love,
RuthiE and Cecile
