INK (2.0)

There is one big problem that keeps me from unwinding and immersing myself into nature’s beauty- PACKING! Sheets, pillows, quilts, flashlights, firewood, mugs, air mattresses, ice, chairs… and we haven’t even talked about pitching the TENT yet! If anyone else is like me, GLAMPING is a wonderful solution!
