Take on Brock & Don
Changing with the times vacation. By Brock Ray n July, Anna and I pulled a travel trailer to a public campground in the mountains of western North Carolina. Our children in tow, we took along shing gear, bicycles, and archery gear. At the end of the week we returned to Alabama, concluding our rst such family camping trip. We will do it again, and soon, too, I anticipate. Ironically, this trip took the place of a more expensive vacation we had planned in Colorado. As the trip to the Rockies drew near, it became clear we were hard pressed to be away from our home businesses for the two weeks needed for this trip. We scaled back, looked closer to home, and discovered a wonderful vacation outing that we all rated as our best ever. It seems everyone works harder and longer these days, and time is just as scarce as extra money for family recre-ation. However, if you are determined to spend time outdoors with your family enjoying God's amazing won-derland, this big ole country is spangled with close-to-home, largely overlooked destinations. We had a great time and all of us are eager for our next budget vacation. I www.interstatesportsman.com T A K E O N B R O C K 1.
