Roughing it

There is nothing like a trip to the Boundary Waters to help you appreciate pretty much everything. The luxury of just sitting and enjoying this view, for instance, is enough to sustain me for many weeks to come.


















And there's something so satisfying about being able to carry everything you need on your back.

It'd be tough to choose what I like best: the physical challenge, the gorgeous scenery, or the companionship and time to really talk with friends.

Luckily, it's not an either/or.
