Way to go girl!! You're super in my book. My wife has endured camping and hiking with me but now we tend to take seperate vacations. She hates boats and I love them. I got rid of my Dan Wesson .357 magnum stainless to keep her happy. She can go 500 miles to water (we live in the desert) and she'll plop down with a book while I go crazy fishing, boating, swimming, etc. You sound like you know how to have fun outdoors. Good for you. Bob Simons
