I love seeing someone just one month into riding jump straight into XPLORER Camp Meeting. The joy of spreading out a map and wondering where to ride next has nothing to do with how long you've been at it. Soaking in a place's air right there in a tent -- that's exactly the kind of start I'm fond of.

1 month in and already camp touring seems early honestly, but glad she enjoyed it

fresh license plus camping gear loaded on mountain roads does worry me accident-wise
