My kids first backpacking trip is coming up this weekend!
This weekend I'm taking my boys on their first backpacking trip! I'm very excited. They've done camping before, (Drive up drop the tent out the back and setup.) but this will be their first time hiking and camping.
We're headed down to Deam wilderness down around lake Monroe. (Southern Indiana.) Because it's their first time and and all three are under ten I'm going to take it easy on them. We'll hike about 2.5 to 3.0 miles each day and we'll only be gone overnight.
I'll carry most of the weight, but I'll have them carry about 5 lbs or so each. Hopefully we'll get a chance to climb the look out tower while we're in the area to.
I'll be sure and post lots of pictures when we get back.
We're back from our trip. Everyone is still alive and they really enjoyed the trip. Time to start planning the second trip.
