I wish I knew more about my family. My goal here is to record everything I DO know so it won't get totally lost.

Back Packing

During the 1970s, Pat and I were part of a small group of hard-core backpackers. We were recreational and did not hike all the time, but the hikes we took were real hikes, not strolls along a park trail. And we tried to leave everything as it was, as if we had never been there. That's Pat leading the way down to the lake.


The hikes were too hard for Rich and Mike and they stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Andersen. But as Rich got older, we took him on a hike or two where we tent camped in the VW bus.
