In the middle of Fool’s Spring

Winter storms have me longing for warmer days, eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring in Big Sky Country. Warm weather means camping and I just bought a new sleeping bag. This girl is ready.

Admittedly, most of my camping revolves around softball tournaments. Drive across the state, play a full day of softball, sleep on miscellaneous rocks and who knows what else, wake up and play another full day of softball. It’s not exactly what you picture as a typical Montana camping experience. I’m determined to change that this year.

As for me, you can catch me at Woodbine this summer.
