Our Pisgah trip rekindled our love for camping and sent us scrambling to squeeze in one more trip before the end of the year. It also sent me scrambling to the internet to make a flurry of purchases in order to bolster up our modest arsenal of camping supplies (hooray for new toys and gadgets). But when more pressing circumstances bumped our best laid plans clear off the calendar, there was only one thing left to do: Hit the backyard and make the most of it. Hey, not the trip we had in mind... but you'd be hard pressed to beat the commute.
