Wild trampings and the Great Tim Ernst
Some of us know Tim Ernst as that great wild thing of Arkansas' Ozarks. The man who steps from mountain top to mountain top, photographing marvelous things and writing the finest trail guides yet to be written in the English language. The man who puts mile markers on trails, and lets you know, in tenths of miles, how far it is to the next reliable water source.
And the area of the country his trail goes through is without a doubt one of the finest, and the trail one of the least traveled in America. At any rate, National Geographic just published a writeup on the Ozark Highlands Trail, and you can read it all here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/10/ozark-trail/white-text

That man saved our hides at least a couple of times.
I think a North Locust backpacking trip is in order someday. Maybe once Lucia is big enough to sit in one of those backpacks with slot for baby.
She's already tromping around in the "ErgoBaby" and "Baby Bjorn". She usually falls right to sleep, in fact. Something about feeling as though she's back in the womb ...
Rocking her back and forth upside down also does this (recommended by that patriarch of parenting, Dr. Sears).
