We backpacked along Mill Creek Trail, which is usually an easy overnighter. It had been a rainy winter, and much of the trail had washed away, making the going rougher than usual. But the hills were green, wildflowers were blooming, and the days were sunny and temperate. My brother and I had a relaxed time together, and I fell in love with the northern California foothills all over again. That short backpack is my idea of a perfect spring trip.
Spring is a time of renewal.
For me, that renewal was my bonds with my brother and the terrain of my youth. I've picked out some ideas. But ideas are just springboards, to launch your own imagination. Let's jump . . . All rights reserved.
