Yeah, the primitive camping has it's time and place, Janie. I'm finding I have less and less to prove to myself, so the cabin and hot tub usually win out.

Have any of you every tried going with outfit tours? Someone was telling me about O.A.R.S. and the rafting trips, the catalog looks great, but are they as nice as they seem? I was looking at the Canyonlands and St.John river trips in the book and they look delish.

It's getting to be the perfect time for hikes around here. The next few weekends will be spent hiking around the Cascades looking for blackberry bushes that only the bears know about. Fun fun.
