Sorry everyone that I haven't posted anything new in quite a while. This year at the university have kept me pretty busy!

Finally got out and went camping a few weekends ago and had a wonderful time. Went down to a sandy spot on the Missouri River that can only be reached by boat with a few friends and their dogs.
