Snow Camping

    I've been kicking around the idea for doing some snow camping this winter and I means I (Camping Girl doesn't do snow). I cannot say that about the kids though, they at least seem a little interested and only time will tell.

    During my lifetime I have gone snow camping several times, most of them were as a Boy Scout in Michigan and just a couple of times as an adult here in California. When I go I will not be taking a tent, I will be making a quinzee. I have put a link below to a Boys Life article on the subject.

    So my question to you is, are you game? Will you join me/us on a winter camping trip? If you have any knowledge or would consider going on a camping trip such as this let me know.
