    That sounds that a really rewarding experience for your son. Not to mention a great story.
    When it seems like the night will last forever
    And there's nothing left to do but count the years
    When the strings of my heart start to sever
    And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    And dream me a dream of my own
    -Jerry

    "hammping trip"

    That's a good one!

    I love the fact that you created a hike with "rules!"
    It turned what would be a routine hike into an adventure!
