Backpacking Believers

Hello Everyone, It has been a while since our last blog post. We have hiked over 800 miles now across America and have seen a lot. We have been state park hopping here in Ohio. We have camped in our tent in a lot of nice places, lately.  All of the parks have been different, some have putt putt, some lakes, some dried up lakes and some resorts galore camping. We have been blessed with free camping at some of the parks and food brought to us for breakfast and pizza for supper given to us at others.
