Michael LOVES to go backpacking. To me the thought of carrying everything that you need in on your back, eating dehydrated meals, no toilets or running water, being attacked by wildlife really isn't my idea of a good time. However, we went backpacking over Labor Day in Northern Idaho and I actually enjoyed myself. We hiked into Anderson Lake, it's about 30 miles south of Sandpoint, ID. The hike in was only about 3 miles but it was uphill the entire way. I was scared to death we were going to be attacked my a grizzly bear after we kept seeing large piles of bear scat along the trail. We had so much fun after we got to the lake and set up camp. It was absolutely beautiful! We we're planning on staying until Monday but Sunday afternoon it started to hail/snow. We played a game of phase 10 in the tent and decided if it hadn't stopped by the time the game was over we would pack up and leave. The sky was getting darker and it started to thunder so we quickly broke up camp and headed home. It was a great weekend, very nice to get away and just enjoy each other without any distractions. I'm already looking forward to our trip next year. 
Happy Campers
