“Wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human spirit and as vital to our lives as water and good bread.” - Edward Abbey

 

From sea to shining sea, the United States is full of amazing outdoor adventures just waiting for you!  In this episode, we talk about where to go, what to expect, and how to plan for a successful family camping trip - even if you're new to camping!
