Unfortunately, the kids were not given the great opportunity to go on the weeklong camping trip in late summer or early fall. A three day weekend.
Because of this, I think we should try to give them a good time.
My suggestion is to take a Dads (and/or Moms) camping trip for all Pio campers, as well as any siblings who would like to go.
In the past, I have gone on a guys trip to Silver Lake, which is a really cool place to camp. THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION...If you are interested, but think there is a better place, let me know at [email protected].

The Hart/Montegue Bike Trail: The Hart-Montague Trail State Park is a paved, 22-mile trail passing through rural, forested lands. Scenic overlooks and picnic areas are located along the route. The DNR currently provides only emergency maintenance services and seeks governmental agencies to operate and maintain its linear park trails.
I have ridden this trail, and it is amazing. Wineries, dairy farms, a bunch of things to see and do.
