Show Notes

IMG_7661       Petey seems to think that traipsing around in the wild borderlands of southeastern Arizona is good for children and adults too. He could be right.

There are so many articles, essays and books written about letting children romp in the wild. It seems such a “no brainer”, but many children never get out of their urban or even rural neighborhoods and experience anything wild. Sad, but true. And it stands to logic that the only way people will ever learn care about wild places is if they can get out and experience those places.  Yea!
