One of my favorite things is an empty campground, and this was the situation at Loon Lake this time. Mid week, September… perfect for camping. Weather was delightful and even got a little rain on the last morning. Kate went with me and Ben and Charlie this time. Not much Read More
This was Charlie’s first camping experience with Ben and me. He had a wonderful time. He had a blast picking up anything and everything in his mouth. Tons of new things to sniff and hold.
