I ordered some hooded sun shirts from 32 degrees, and they were super cheap, but the quality is ten times better than the ones I ordered from Amazon. If you are looking for coverage, you should try them. Not being paid to provide this tip but I have not been a bit disappointed with anything I have ordered from them.

Made the OSU Baseball Program Ads. This was the very first Lake McMurtry Friends backpacking clinic. It was such a great experience. I will share as soon as I see the notice for the backpacking clinic this spring. I love the caption "Find yourself at Lake McMurtry" those trails have helped me find myself, walk off some stress and the occasional crazy. I am blessed to have this so close to home.
