Camping is a gift that is often times passed down as a tradition from family members. We are both grateful to have been gifted the love of camping from each of our families. We were fortunate to spend a weekend in early August at Sibley State Park with Sarah’s family, including her 88-year-old grandparents. You may remember our blog post from 2 years ago where we did something similar at Schroder County Park. Two years later, …

As an outdoors person, what better way to celebrate your birthday than to be one with nature? That is Andy’s ideal way to celebrate his birthday for the rest of his life… in the woods. This was Andy’s 3rd consecutive year celebrating in the woods, and it won’t be his last! Andy hopes to make it an annual tradition to camp on his birthday weekend. We trekked along a section of the Superior Hiking Trail which …
The love for camping is a beautiful hobby to enjoy. It’s an even more beautiful hobby when passed down from generation to generation. Andy and I both grew up camping around Minnesota with our families. We grew up in families who appreciate the outdoors and found quality time in packing up the van, pitching tents, and roasting s’mores around the campfire. I know my grandparents are part of the reason I am the outdoor/camping lover …
