Recreation

So I have been trying to figure out what I want to do for recreation. I have dabbled in so many things that I recently decided to try to pick just a couple that I can really focus on. Playing XBOX will always be something I enjoy. I tried to give it up once and got sucked back in. I have recently decided to try to get back into backpacking. My wife thinks this is a great idea and may even do a little backpacking with me. I did a little packing when I was younger so I know what I am getting into. I don't know if I will ever be more than a weekend warrior but I need to start somewhere. I have been doing a lot of research on equipment and I believe I have picked out what I want as far as the essentials go and I hope to start purchasing them at the end of March. My goal is to have my first trip planned for some time in the end of April or beginning May. This year I will probably stick to the Black Hills and Badlands but may venture over into northern Minnesota. I plan on blogging about my trips and hope to have pictures to go along with the posts.
