  • In this episode, join me as I go from high elevation truck camping next to a beautiful lake, to solo backpacking in the red cliff valleys of Zion National Park. Nothing but spectacular views along the way, and a bit of misfortune at the end.
    Sit back, grab a beer, grab a coffee, grab something nice to sip & enjoy the video!

    I've never heard of anyone eating an apple with cheese sandwich until now. I imagine that I would like to try one myself, but I'd prefer to purchase one of those tiny nut choppers from Walmart, chop up the apple (most likely pealed), and then spread that on top of the cheese. Have you ever had that sandwich cooked as if it was a grilled cheese? I'll bet that would be delish. I remember grilling a PB&J sandwich a few times in my life - what a delicious treat that was :)
