Camping has always been an important activity in my life. I love being outdoors and getting away from it all. And over the years, I always set time aside so that I can go to the mountains and enjoy some time among the pines.
I was in fifth grade when I went on my first camping trip. My mom had signed me up for Girl Scouts, and our leader was given some old army tents and supplies. Since our leader did not drive, families volunteered to drive us, and some volunteered to spend the night too. We camped at Big Basin, and I will never forget my first experience of sleeping in the woods. Waking up in the redwoods was so much fun.

I remember going camping with my parents. No tent but we had a big station wagon! Mama and I slept on the folded down seats while daddy slept under the stars on a chaise lounge. Fun memories to think on.

I still love camping, but now days, I find a cabin. My old body does not like sleeping in a sleeping bag.

For me the purpose of camping is to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature..

I love to be in the middle of nature too. Although I do not always totally disconnect since I love to write.
