James camped at Frontenac State Park this weekend. It was his first night in a tent, and he slept from 8 PM to 530 AM - pretty darn good! He had a good time exploring the campground, watching other people in the park, hiking up and down the bluffs, and sleeping in the pack on my back.

We completed a one hour loop this morning, starting at our site, winding downhill to Lake Pepin... following the shore south, then climbing the slope back up. We were definitely tested by the altitude changes... steep and long, and I think we had a lot of lactic acid in our leg muscles for much of the hike. James slept almost the entire time. I am really out of shape.

When we woke up this morning it was somewhat cool, thus the blanket cocoon pictured here.

Hopefully we can do this often - all went well and by all appearances JD liked it a lot.
