Two weeks ago my Dad and I went on what will be our last backpacking adventure. Dad’s health has gone down to the point that he cannot walk very well even without a pack. He said he was retiring to campground camping in his camper lol. We tried to get my little brother to come along but sadly he wasn’t interested. We spent the night along the Chattooga River on the GA/SC border and enjoyed each other’s company, great conversation, amazing weather, and some wonderful memories made. It’s taken me two weeks to be able to make this post as I’m loathe to admit that I won’t spend another night out in the woods with my dad. But alas, time marches on!
