There is nothing more rewarding than sitting around a campfire in the mountains, after a day of backpacking, especially in the San Gorgonio Wilderness, drinking coffee and telling or listening to stories about all of our adventures we have had together. Yearly we got together to set our monthly backpacking schedule into the local mountains, and then a week in the Sierra, with our teenagers. Which of course, always includes The San Gorgonio Wilderness in the spring. It is rare to find so…

The topic of archaeology programs in museums and the role that popular culture plays in the public’s misconceptions is not easily covered in a limited timeframe nor a single document. The author considers this thesis a possible introduction to a much larger study. There is always more that can be learned, more comparisons made, and new programs evaluated. With an unlimited timeframe, the ability and funds to travel, and perhaps surveying assistance, more programs and museum educators could be…

I shall always remember my first year working at Turkey Hill Ranch. I have always possessed an enduring fondness of the lovely church camp over all the years I’ve spent there as a camper, but I never imagined that its unique nature and pleasant atmosphere would impart such invaluable wisdom. This quiet and seemingly insignificant breadth of woods and field, tucked away amongst the encompassing depths of central Missouri, gave me an abundance of clarity on the exceeding importance of humility,…

When I was about 14 years old, I spent the summer at Camp Lake of the Woods in Decatur, Michigan. From canoeing in the beautiful waters of the three hundred and twenty-acre lake to doing ceramics at the arts and crafts studio, there was never a dull moment at that place. Some of the camp’s amenities include an equestrian center, three baseball diamonds, dance and gymnastics pavilions, and ceramics and arts and crafts studios (Camp Lake of the Woods). Meanwhile, the aquatic options and waterfront…

Taking long walks in the park, during the summer, is something my family and I love to do. Watching the wind blow through the bright green leaves on the tree’s, or feeling the warm, reviving sun radiating off my skin. Covering me in a blanket of sunshine. The sweet, fruity smell that lingers in the air is a smell I wish could stay in the air all year round. Even if the air conditioning is on, I still will open my bedroom window to let the smell of summer fill my room. For my family, summer…

Onondaga Lake Cleanup As a child, I grew up in a small neighborhood surrounded by a large forest that backed up to a section of the Erie Canal. The area was any child’s dream playground with plenty of places to hide, and explore. It is because of this that I spent most of my childhood outdoors playing with friends. In fact, it was not a rare occasion that our parents would have to drag us in for dinner, and again when it was time for bed. Many of my fondest memories up to this point…

Snow Camping Quinzee Building Introduction Snow camping is a much different form of camping than its counterparts – dry and wetland camping. This excursion encompasses building a shelter, staying dry, and ultimately staying warm. A quinzee is a shelter made of snow that offers protection from the outside weather through its elevated floor, insulation, and all around protection. It is one of many forms of snow shelter and with the proper tools, practice, and conditions can be an effective…

The Hunting Camp From 2006 until 2010 my father, uncle, and I were all members of a hunting club. Although we were there to hunt, it was likely the smallest aspect of the trip. We spent more time around a campfire than we did in any tree stand. The camp, for me anyways, was broken into three major areas: the hunting grounds, the campgrounds, and the camper itself. It was in these places that I have some of my fondest memories that I enjoy revisiting. It was quite enjoyable for years, then for…
