It's....
-getting away from it all...
-Exploring the "wild unknown"
-testing my limits
-sitting around a camp fire with friends and family knockin back a cold one.
-watching people who don't understand scratch and shake their heads
-going places the "car campers" cant get to
-teaching my kids how to enjoy and protect the forest, and how to survive in the rough.
-seeing the dew on the leaves on a cold morning
-knowing that a poorly placed curb won't keep me from getting where I want to be
-1000 other reasons that just can't be explained with words.
