2016 Year-Round Camping
2016 was the first year I dedicated myself to camping during every month. It's not that I couldn't do it before; it was more that I hadn't made it a priority to try. It was fun to successfully camp out at least once a month for the first time, and once I was done I committed myself to keeping the tradition going.
A photo collage below shows off how things looked throughout the year. Here's where I went:
-
January: Mouth of the Otter River on Otter Lake
-
