[SportsandRec] Campsites and Hiking Trails

Mon Jan 23 21:07:06 UTC 2023

Oh Joseph, I was with you till the money part, smile. Money doesn’t buy happiness but it buys options. Another thought of a place I worked was Minnesota and Wilderness Inquiry if they’re still around. They go on serious trips like dog sledding and many other good adventures. Their rule is for a trip to leave half of the crew have to have a disability, which I thought was interesting. Of course good adventures have some cost and again I don’t know if they’re still around.
