This activity somewhat allows you to connect with nature. You have discovered something about yourself after this activity for sure. Perhaps you're up for another exciting adventure? :) <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flyingpigrafting.com/horseback-adventure/" rel="nofollow">Kirk Mack @ Flying Pig Adventure Company</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283610703325677040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-20690246477665937732013-02-01T10:26:38.720-06:002013-02-01T10:26:38.720-06:00Hi Meg, the "couch cowgirl" term got me ...Hi Meg, the "couch cowgirl" term got me laughing.

It's one thing I always wanted to do. Camp cooking tastes wonderful--must be the mountain air that makes everything level up on the delicious scale. <br /><br />Of course, on a wagon train, potatoes would've been a real treat since they weigh too much to carry. More likely, you'd be eating beans or rice. But being an Idaho girl, I have a special appreciation for potatoes. :)Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-36838273048447555102013-01-31T14:31:29.489-06:002013-01-31T14:31:29.489-06:00Used to camp out here in the Colorado Rockies bef...Used to camp out here in the Colorado Rockies before the bones got to creakin'.

I'm not a camping out kinda girl, so I would've probably made a really poor pioneer or cowgirl, but I like the sense of community and values I get when I read a western romance.<br /><br />I also loved Audra on The <i>Big Valley </i>. I've been watching the show on the INSP network over the past few months. I do keep wondering if Heath ever received a last name in the opening credits. :DPenny Raderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012014043686359253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-18508070008111497782013-01-31T11:55:22.070-06:002013-01-31T11:55:22.070-06:00Hi Troy, I do have a competent CPA, that's for...Hi Troy, I do have a competent CPA, that's for sure.
