I'm wandering around in an area that is littered with abandoned mine shafts. I'm always amazed at the combination of optimism and desperation that must have been required for a person go out in the desert, stake a claim, and dig a deep hole in rock with hand tools hoping to find something valuable.

Any other parents of young kids out there who like to hike / bike / ski / camp?

For us 2023 was the year of learning how to do it with a toddler while keeping him safe, comfortable, and happy.

And it went pretty well, overall. 🙂

In 2024, though, we'll have a new baby, as well...

Any tips, tricks or advice you've got on trip planning & execution with TWO young kids would be welcome!
