If any of you saw my Snow Camping blog, let me say this: camping with snow on the ground and camping while its snowing are two totally different things!! This trip this past weekend was the most challenging, yet epic, camping weekend! I didn’t even listen to some of my snow camping quick tips (shame on me) but I learned a whole lot more on how to prepare for real snow camping!
