I was wondering if anyone ever walks to their hiking destination without taking their car?
I was sitting here thinking about trying out my gear, and planning out my hike. Then I thought about trying out my gear at the closest campground I know of... then I thought "maybe I can walk there?"
I had friends a few years ago who were serious bikers. And I remember thinking they were crazy when they rode their bikes on a two day trip to their destination when it was only a three hour drive. But now that I'm wiser... I think it wasn't the destination they were after... it was the trip.
I'm hoping my backpack can give me freedom.
