I’m prepared and excited for Skills Camp 2008. I’ll be heading into the relative wilderness of Joshua Tree National Park for the weekend for some rock climbing and general fun. This time I have my own stove and tent. I’ve been thinking about backpacking lately, but I don’t own a frame backpack nor do I have the ability to walk for extended periods of time. By extended periods of time I mean I can’t walk more than 5 to 10 minutes on non-flat unpaved ground. Let alone hike for a day. I’m thinking of trying to build up to it though, because I’d really like to go visiting some of the local mountains here, and maybe retrace some of the places my dad visited.
