[home/hobbies/hiking_and_camping] For the last week, Joanne and I have been shopping online for a tent trailer. No we’re not just copying the Forderers, our friends Amy and Jay who bought one last summer— we’ve always thought it would be neat to have a tent trailer for summer vacations. But now the subject has become a little more urgent because our plans this summer are to travel to Saskatchewan to visit Joanne’s mom and dad, camping with the family along the way. So we found a couple of inexpensive trailers online— they were in Toronto, so the other evening we drove in to take a look. The one we’re getting is $700— a hard top with a stove, sink, built in ice-box/cooler, table, sleeps six, and is in terrific shape. It’s a little old, from the early 80’s, but we don’t care. It has new tires, and the man who owned it previously took great care of it. So Saturday morning we’ve decided to drive back to Toronto in the morning to pick it up. I’m so excited!! I’ve always thought it would be neat to have my own camper trailer. We’ve talked about taking the piano and doing concerts along the way… so if you live between Hamilton, Ontario and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and you want me to come play at your venue, then let’s set it up! ~Jason

Spring Is On It’s Way
Well, today I went on a hike with my son Lucas, my brother-in-law Mike Clow, and his two oldest sons, Jadon and Keagan. We walked up to the Mount Albion Falls and snooped around. Though a little chilly, it was great to get a feeling for upcoming spring again!
I love spring… I love hiking and enjoying outside, the smells, the sights and sounds. I can’t wait for it to really be here.
Then we drove along the top of the escarpment, stopped for a coffee at Tim Hortons, and headed home snapping up Tim-bits. Lots of fun!
I would so love to have a GPS unit. I’d like to try GeoCaching. Geocaching is when you go on a hike with a GPS unit in search for a hidden treasure. The site above contains coordinates of hidden treasures all over the planet. You get the coordinates from the site, then go on a hike. You take along a little something to leave in the ‘cache’ and when you find the secret spot you exchange your little something with whatever you take out of the box. I think it would be fun for Lucas and I to do this together.
