  • Column: Leave the cell phones...

    It’s been said time and time again.
    “Kids are too wrapped up in their video games, and they need to get outside.”
    However, should that adage be just for kids?
    This past weekend, I went camping at Fall Creek Falls.
    Camping in a tent under the stars, smelling themountain air and above all, having no cell phone service.
    A weekend without cell phone distraction, Facebook and Twitter.
    To say the least, it was way better than most people would think.
    To me, getting outside is something that is relaxing.
