James joined us on his second overnight backpacking trip. We hiked in about 2 1/2 miles to a beautiful stream and camped next to it. James inherited an external frame pack from our friend's daughter. He carried his own sleeping bag, clothes and snacks. He complained some going in, but he hiked out with a few rest breaks and that's about it.
He also carried in his new super soaker gun. That made for hours of entertainment and lots of wet clothing and shoes!
