For those who are camping this Memorial weekend, the weather is positively perfect. So many years in our past we remember Memorial weekends drenching us and our tents to where we had to pack up and go back home. Those were crazy days, but left us with memories we wouldn't trade for the world.
The camping we used to do was unlike the camping today. Back then, we pitched a tent and 'roughed it.' Today, camping refers to parking a motor home in a campground and enjoying the luxury of a movable home, sometimes nicer than home. It's a wonderful way for young families to spend the weekend together.
So true: both the advice about camping and about RV's. Our younger neighbors have a big 5th wheel. Second year with it. Decided this season to find a park, leave it there all season, build a nice deck beside it and extend their "home away from home" space.
ReplyDeleteUnsure whether I'd prefer that or travel, see the country but with a smaller unit.
"Roughed it" many times. Always rained. Got a 16' tent camper with 2 big pull outs to sleep on. Enjoyed that many years.
You're so right about it raining. Camping used to be an adventure for sure. Maybe that's where and how we learned to take care of ourselves. There's nothing worse than rain dripping down into the tent during the night. All in the quest for fun!
