I cannot wait to get away from "civilization". What is so civil about the world  — 1 month ago

we live in anyway? We stand by and watch millions of people die annually from preventable diseases and starvation yet we spend billions on waging war and other needless crap. My contempt level is off the charts obviously. If I don’t like why don’t I just get the hell out? I’m working on it. Ah yes, camping….. Like Eddie Vetter once said… “I’d rather be with an animal.” Cannot wait to hit a trail with the pack I have not yet purchased.

Well, I camped a lot when I was younger but not since having 2 kids. So, with partner and kids in tow, I went camping for 3 nights. One hour either side of getting to the camp site, partner lost wallet and broke main tent pole, so we got off to a wobbly start. Still, the tent was up by dark and the temporary repair to the pole held. The wallet was retrieved, but not until after the police cancelled the cards…so no money for another week…hmm one goal leads to another…budgetting in earnest. On balance it was worth it. It was beautiful in the mountains, and really refreshing to focus on the here and now of immediate needs…the next meal, sleep, warmth. A big bold possum ate our bread, last bananas and marshmallows, but not until the last night, so we were happy to share. A black snake crossed my path when I was walking in the bush alone and that was psychologically challenging, and put me on edge for a while. I’m not planning our next adventure just yet, but there will be one!

Camping: Well Worth the Effort  — 11 months ago

Worth doing!

My husband and I try to camp 2 times a month. It is absolutely vital to our psyche to destress and hit the “reset” button on our brains.

We pack the car Thursday night and leave right after work on Friday. Camp Friday and Saturday night, and drive home Sunday morning. We found this to work really well and we’ve been camping 11 times since February 2007 and it’s now mid August. We have another trip planned this weekend.

We hit the local spots within 2 – 3 hours driving. We took a longer trip and went to Sequoia and Kings Canyon as well.

We’ve really figured out how to streamline our camping and make it easy and hassle free. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions or if you’d like a review of any local Southern California campgrounds.

There’s nothing better than sleeping outdoors, walking among the trees, building your campfire and just relaxing.

Now get out there and create those memories!
