Hiking, camping, animal rescue

My husband and I have been avid backpackers and hikers for 15 years. We are involved in a German Shepherd rescue and have had several of these dogs as pets. We recently purchased an RV that pulls behind our Jeep and enjoy taking the camper, along with our two German Shepherds, on outings in the desert.
