This weeks blog post will be directed to a video from my Camper Christina Cooks Series, Making Prosciutto Basil Tomato Pasta during my trip this summer to Tim Lake.  I could write up a post on it as well, but for the cooking videos, it just seems easier to do it by video alone.

Since receiving my concussion on January 3rd, I have not been able to go camping.  [...]

I have been backcountry camping and camping in general for over 15 years.  I love being out in nature and preparing cool things to eat.
