Dusty Devas

What could be better than hoisting your backpack on your back and packing into your favorite lake? Most of the Devas have backpacked off and on over the years and really enjoy spending a few nights away from cell phones, computers, TV's, husbands, children, etc. We're not fastpackers - we truly enjoy a good meal around the campfire accompanied by a glass of wine. Yes, that makes our packs a tad heavier, but hey, it's worth it!

Tidbit - Sometimes we like to change our name depending on the trip - we call ourselves the Destination Devas or the Dog-Gone-Tired Devas...
