I gave my Dad a Weather Rock for his birthday two years ago. A 300# boulder suspended on 20’ poles. Set it up in his front yard the night before...old Boy Scout stuff.
LOL ... that’s great!
I took my dad and my oldest son hiking on one of the trails we used to hike for father/son hikes (fairly easy 8 miles with a nice waterfall at the end).
Unfortunately, that was probably my dad’s last real hike (age is catching up to him) and my son’s first.
Awful storm blew up in the middle of the night. The tent had been stored in the attic (yes, I’m a bonehead), so of course it leaked like a sieve. At about 4:30 a.m., in the pouring rain we abandoned the tent and made a roaring fire.
Old Boy Scout stuff ;-)
