Tromping through the trails of Indian Cave State Park in southeast Nebraska provided a little cross-training over the weekend.
We began gathering with a bunch of friends for an annual fall campout, dubbed The Jamboree, more than 10 years ago.
When we started, everybody brought their dogs. Gradually, the dogs started giving away to kids. Sadly, many of the dogs who were puppies when this fall festival began now are mottled with gray hair or are no longer with us. A new generation arrived this year as Buddy the puppy joined us on the trail. The kids who started coming to the Jamboree as toddlers now are off on their own – sort of -- running through the woods and playing with the campfire.
Just because all the dogs and kids are getting older doesn’t mean that the rest of us are, right?
