Why???
I'm starting a second blog to hold more of my wilderness encounters, keeping things separate from my deeper thoughts that go on the Shallow Thoughts blog. The other blog is still there, and will see more work as time goes by, and I explore more.
Here I plan to put more of my preparations for an upcoming planned trip into the Grand Canyon this fall. I've also been learning about all of the awesome hikes that are available within 2 hours of my home, and lots of possible backpacking opportunities as I warm up for the fall trip. So, expect lots of pictures, and lots of posts about camping and hiking.
Since I live in the desert, please don't be disappointed when I don't have activities in the woods - our lovely National 'Forests' around here are full of cactus and smaller trees - I figure if the USA can call it a forest, I can still say I'm camping in the woods! :)
