As a teenager every Easter weekend was spent camping at Zion National Park.  My family had a favorite camp ground and a favorite camp spot (near the water, under the shade, close enough to walk to the bathrooms/showers).  Yep, that’s how we camped; toilets and showers were a must.  (It must be noted [...]

A few weeks before Christmas he packed up [...]
