Camping "Wisdom"

Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day. [Uncle Vanya, 1897]

Terrible tag line notwithstanding, Smokey Bear has been a fixture in the camping world for longer than I've been alive. This year, he turns 65 and the celebration will be held in the Wayne National Forest (in Ohio). Smokey was "born" on August 9th, 1944.

El Dorado Canyon State Park

09 November 2008

After brunch with the extended family last weekend, the boys' Uncle invited them out for a hike in El Dorado Canyon State Park. Given that the boys are crazy about their uncle (Grandma complains that she drops off the radar when he's around!), it was a no brainer, we were in. We didn't have a lot of time, so we selected a short, easy hike. Given that one of the boys isn't a great hiker yet (read more to see the pics and guess which one), it was the perfect choice.
