As season changes, adventure of lifetime remembered, new dreams call
Joseph Robertia


Although the first day of spring is still officially three weeks away, I've
already come down with a major case of "Springer Fever": a rare condition
where my heart beats fast, my wanderlust begins to build and I've got an
insatiable urge to strap a 40-pound backpack on and head for the
backcountry.
