The last time Betsy and I spent a lot of time camping was after my senior year in college.  That was when we set our sights on hiking the pct, a 2200 mile trek from Mexico to canada.  This is much more than a hike it's a test of your planning skills and logistical competancy.  So too is a six week road trip with three kids.  The five p`s are in play....proper preparation prevents poor performance.   Stay tuned.
