Mel’s on vacation and Farley’s not skinny
| May 29, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m off for a lovely 4 day backpacking trip! As this is a highly anticipated trip, I must admit I’ve deviated from my usual ultra light style and packed a few luxuries. I’ve hiked this trail before and know that it is mostly flat and easy and for 3 nights, and I’ll sleep better with […] more

Me being whiny
