Backpacking with Dad

I am going to go on a backpacking trip with my dad and dog "Boston" soon. I will be reviewing my new sleeping bag and backpack from Kelty. We will not be gone long, just one night. Dad said we will hike two miles to our campsite and then hike out in the morning after breakfast. It is a loop hike he said. 

I am so excited to spend the day backpacking and the night in our tent with Boston. We will be going to a place that my Dad said I have been before to backpack, but I don't remember it because I was only two or three the last time I was there. The campground and hiking trail is in Western Illinois. 

As soon as it gets warmer and the snow melts we are going to pack up my backpack with my sleeping bag and gear and start walking at night to get used to it in the park near our house. 

When we get to camp I am going to help Dad set up our camp. This is what it will look like.

As my Dad always says...

Keep Hiking Forward!
