YES!!! YIPEE!! COOL!! SO EXCITED!!! I found a state campground not too far from here (practically in my back yard) that has backpacking trails!!!! It's close enough that it doesn't require a serious vacation comittment -- but is suposedly primitive enough to give me my backpacking "fix"!!! Jon has agreed to be my backpackng buddy (unless he gets a job) and we're going to go check it out next weekend!!!! I'M VERY HAPPY!!!
