    I'm sure Micki would let me switch to the night run when the time comes if I feel like I want to do that one.

    MAKING AMERICA BEAUTIFUL AGAIN BY IMPROVING OUR NATIONAL PARKS

    Personally, I don't support putting a price tag on recreational activities on public land. We pay taxes which already goes to that. I agree with campground fees, etc. because that takes money to operation and it's extra but to pay to hike a trail or park a car? I just can't really get behind that.

    Security cameras in the forest

    There are some criminal acts that occur on public lands. Graffiti is big one. Illegal harvest of trees, plants, wildflowers, wildlife, and artifacts is another. Some people think public land management should put hidden security trail cams up to detect these sorts of acts. Others feel it...

    Getting new trail running shoes

    How often do you go through your trail running shoes? How often do you have to get new shoes? Do you try to get the same ones each time or try something different?

    Stealth/Illegal Camping

    Don't feel like you need to provide enough detail here to incriminate yourself but... Have you ever stealth camped or illegally camped anywhere you knew you weren't supposed to be camping? Why did you do it? Would you do it again? How do you justify doing it?

    Camp Clothing and Footwear

    Do you bring any special clothing meant for changing into when doing an overnight backpacking trip? This could also be clothing for sleeping in. How about footwear? Do you bring anything extra for camp shoes? Do you think these comforts are appropriate or often too much added weight?
