It'd be fun, but I don't know how I'd do it. Hell, I've already go 5 kids (pun intended)!

pointer:
I was looking at the map of Indiana and spotted a National Forest and some State Parks that are pretty big and one would think that there is room for some backpack trips. Lots of roads though. Brown County State Park seems to have a couple of fairly large tracts without roads. Might be worth looking into. Lake Monroe might offer an opportunity for good canoeing.

Thanks for looking that up, but I'm well aware of the opportunities that are here. I'm just a bit spoiled having lived a decade 'out West'. I'd have to check, but I am unaware of any state park that allows camping outside of designated (read as developed) campsites. There are some areas of the HNF that I plan on getting to this winter/spring. But, they'll be mostly just long-ish day trips.

I started "recreational backpacking" in 1975... Every summer finds me in the highcountry.

Tanner, great photos!
First backpacking trip for me was in 1967 as a young scout. Been up in the high country many times since. Still love a good backpacking trip!
Regards, Guy

I started backpacking in the late 70's--my horses were in the lower 48 and tough to utilize while residing in Alaska. I quickly found it was nice not to be tied to horses and I could go places that even cayuses couldn't go.
Other than backcountry winter ski trips, most of my "recreational" backpacking incorporates some kind of critter scouting though......
