I really love hiking and backpacking. It's become an obsession for me. The more remote, the more greuling the hike, the hungrier, the dirtier, the better! It's nice to connect back to our roots and actually live in nature for a few weeks each year, instead of in our little box houses and apartments in our cement laden cities. And it's pretty and you get excersise as well.
