Mid-Wales

Date April 23, 2008 RJH

In my family, the wild camp is a rite of passage. Last month I decided the time had come for my boys (8 and 4) to partake of the soma. So off we headed for the Cambrian mountains of mid-Wales and the Elenydd wilderness.

    RJ, nice to see you’re getting outside! Those boys have grown a ton. Looks like you outfitted them quite well - nice. And are you driving a Citroen? I saw those when I lived in S. America - I loved those things. I wish we had them here in the states.

    Take care, dude. Love the pictures!
