Congrats Coley! Thanks for sharing the great story about the float trip with your wife. Fear not the responsibility that comes with having a family. The rewards are worth it, and always remember to keep it entertaining. "If we ain't having fun, it's time to backtrack and take a different approach." It must have worked. I just met up with my two adult daughters weekend before last for a backpack hike in the Desolation Wilderness near Tahoe. They love hiking and the wild, natural environment and thanked me again for raising them with this appreciation. I don't doubt for a second that your child will grow up assuming everyone loves and appreciates the wild lands. Again, congratulations to you and Lara!
