I had a wonderful summer this year.  We were able to go camping in the Adirondacks with a camper I just converted from a cargo trailer.  I wanted to be able to take our mountain bikes, canoes, and live inside of it, and also use it to store and move canoes.  It was no small order.

But I finally finished it, and we went camping.  Everything worked well, but I needed a vacation from all the work getting ready for vacation!  Sometimes life is like that.  We spend all kinds of time and energy to relax… maybe we should just relax!  And so that brings me to my next point.

I am restarting WildernessRecharge.com, which is a ministry I began a number of years back to get people in the outdoors. Why?  Because I found the great outdoors is a great place to find God… in His creation.  It is also a chance to chill out with friends, encouraging others, and being encouraged.  This is a simple ministry that includes hiking, biking, paddling, camping, backpacking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or anything that comes to mind to just get outside.  We have some extra gear to allow others to participate when they don’t have the necessary stuff, but more than that we are just trying to get maximum participation, with minimum money.

So keep an eye out on our calendar.  The goal is that the last Saturday of every month we’ll have something going on.  The calendar will describe the event and what to expect.  This is a meetup type group, so you are ultimately responsible for your own well being and preparation.

Hope to see you there!
