Last summer I planned a few backpacking trips. The first one was with all boys.The second was with, you guessed it, all girls. I took my two youngest girls and several friends brought their daughters. It was a fun trip. We went to Thunder Creek Camp, off of ThunderCreek Trail.It was a two mile hike, I was initially concerned if Mallory 7 could make it. But She and her pal lead the way almost all the way in. We set-up camp and the girls started exploring everywhere. Malloryneeded a stick sharpened rightaway and was ready to do some hunting. By the time we were heading home she wanted to bag a squirrel to take home so mom could skin it and make something for winter out of the skin. We could have squirrel stew for dinner. The main difference I noticed backpacking with the girls was they were much more concerned about what we would be eating. With boys it’s just eat and eat a lot. The girls were much lighter eaters as well. We had a lot of fun and I look forward to some more time with them on the trail.
