Camping has become a source of relaxation since we no longer can do a lot of traveling. We started out a few years ago with a camping trip to Arkansas in just our van to see if we would like it. We didn't want to invest a lot if we didn't.
We then decided to buy a tent. Our first camping with the tent was in Nov. with our camping friends, Mel and Sandy. It was a lot of fun, even if the temps were down in the 20's during the night. Can't say we did a lot of sleeping! What heat we had went out the top of the tent. The air mattress went flat, and basically we were sleeping on the ground. Then I got woke up in the night by my husband hollering my name and saying "I need help! I can't get out of the tent!" He had to go to the bathroom and forgot he had two zippers to unzip, and he was in a panic.
Even with that experience we decided we liked it so much we bought a popup and used it until Lisa came home to stay. There was no way of getting her in a popup, so we bought a 32ft. Motorhome. We've had to do some modifications for a lift inside to lift her and tried several different things for ramps to get her in. Anyway it's a great getaway for the weekend.

All our cooking is done over the campfire. We usually have a late breakfast of bacon, eggs, biscuits, sometimes pancakes and gravy. They taste so much different over the fire.
I think the most enjoyable part of camping is setting around the campfire in the evening after a supper of steak and potaotes baked in the coals.

During the day we enjoy hiking, fishing and playing trick on each other. Once my husband took Sandy's bike to take a shower. When he was inside, Mel took the bike and hid it then hid and filmed Delbert coming out of the shower and looking everywhere for the bike.
We have a paddle boat we take sometimes, and that can give you a lot of exercise.
