The great outdoors

After years I had an opportunity to go on a little weekend camping & rafting trip. We camped by Lake Isabella past San Bernardio, swam quite a bit in the lake with temptations to swim across the lake though I avoided it fear of leg cramps. Lots of games, a great BBQ that i took care of, and a very uncomfortable night at my old tent that hadn't been unpacked in years. But I enjoyed it. The next day we rafted in kyaked in class 2 & 3 rapids of Kern River. The weekend was a good reminder of my passion for the outdoors and open waters. It takes me to my childhood. I need to do more of it. An REI shopping trip is in the order before July's Yosemite trip.
