full circle



Started out many years ago as a child camping in a tent, sleeping bags, the simple life....

Over the years have made the rounds of campers - pickup truck campers, motorhomes, travel trailers - with all the amenities - TV, microwave, fridge, gas grill.

But this weekend going back to the basics - back to tent camping.

Am I too old for this? Sleeping on the ground, getting up in the dark to find a bathroom? This weekend will be the test!

If I survive, have plans on trying backpacking next, overnight hikes in the mountains... LOL very ambitious I know - ask me about it on Monday morning...

But for now, looking forward to sitting in a camp chair by the camp fire looking out over the lake, kids and grandkids gathered 'round, telling stories, and of course eating s'mores!
