SBM is thankful to be out playing in the wilds over the long holiday weekend. But that’s not all! We’re thankful for good friends who hike the trails with us, who pitch tents next to ours and who keep our campfires comfy and cozy. And we’re thankful for you, our readers for joining us in our outdoor journeys and our love of the outdoors.
Happy Thanksgiving.
