I am really fond, I must state, of going on the many camping hiking trips that I embark upon each and every year. In fact, my brother Andrew is, I have a good mind to think, as fond of the camping hiking trips as I am, because he always coming with me and helping me to plan them out. There are so many camping hiking trips that we have planned for this year, that at the last count, I think there are about six or seven on the agenda so far. I am really looking forwards to the camping hiking trip that we have planned for the end of this month—where we are heading up to the White Mountains to really get away for four days of solitude and grace, where only the splendor and picturesque scenery can steal me away from the craziness of the hectic city in which I dwell (Phoenix, AZ). Indeed, if it were not for the camping hiking trips that I take so often, I think I might go stir crazy in this concrete jungle!
