December Daily: camping

laurenthemself asks: have you ever been camping? What are your thoughts on camping?

I went camping a few times when I was a teenager, and I thought it was OK. I love rafting and hiking, and camping seemed to go along with them.

(Which reminds me: When I moved from a flat place to a hilly place, I swore I was going to join a hiking club, but I've been here for a year and a half now and I haven't done it. When spring comes, I should definitely at least show up for some day hikes.)

Now, though -- I mean, I'm not elderly or anything, but it's more difficult for me to get a good night's sleep in a bed in a comfortable room. I don't think I'd be eager to sleep on the ground again!
