| Man, I'd forgotten how much I love camping and hiking.  LOVE.  And the trek to Paradise Valley (thank you, iSm, so freaking much for suggesting and encouraging) has only increased the desire.  CP and I have come away from this trip with a definite desire to do more of both.  The hurdle we face is that all of our camping and hiking experience has been in King's Canyon, which is a very unfair comparison for any other, we'll have to really be careful not to hold that up as a standard.  But that hike was glorious, and it was the most remote place I've ever visited, and I want more.
