God is light, we are told, and Hell is outer darkness. But look at a desert mountain stripped bare by the sun, and you learn only geography. Watch darkness claim it, and for a moment you may grasp why God had to create Satan--or man to create both. -- Colin Fletcher

Growing up in Newfoundland, Canada, I spent a great deal of my life in the woods. I love to hike and camp. I continued to do so up until I moved to Florida, USA in 2000. Something about the flat landscape and heat just stopped me from going camping. Well it's been 7 years and I can't keep this up. I intend to blog every detail about my reintroduction into the world of hiking and camping. From the gear I purchase, to the hikes I take. My Store: http://www.cafepress.com/newbackpacker/
