That being said, the Backpacker Magazine offered me a free PDF book called The Best Trails in America as part of purchasing my soul for their subscription. Gleefully, I obliged. The book contains quite a bit of information on [...]]]></description>

This time, however, I watched the videos&#8230; My &#8220;role&#8221; if you will on the trails is Camp Chef. This has to do partially with my mother being an accomplished cook, [...]]]></description>
