060 - Table Mountain Campground - Wrightwood, CA

Father's Day weekend continues to be the perfect time to get outdoors. My parents made sure that my siblings and I were exposed to all that Mother Nature had to offer. For that, I am grateful and I aspire to do the same for my kids. This is how we camp and I hope that you'll join us somewhere down the line... maybe, on the slackline.
