My First Experience with Back-Country Camping

Last weekend my family went out on our first back country camping trip.  We had some friends that had an extra site booking so we went out to meet up with them.  We loaded up the car, packed our packs, threw the little red wagon into the back of the car, and off we went! …

The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower Book 1

With the movie now in the theaters I want to check it out.  I also wanted to read the book first.  Call me weird, but I like to read the book that the film is based on, even though it has driven me nuts in the past.  Either way, it gave me a good excuse …
