I'm a wuss about the cold, and I like to camp in the high country vs. the desert so it'll be a couple more months before it's warm enough to start camping and hiking again.
Camping used to be about drinking, but thank God those days are long behind. Now it's about enjoying some quiet time with my children and fiance, enjoying the outdoors and the sounds and smells of nature. I like the meals too, nothing like cooking something over a fire or in a dutch oven.
Now ya got me itchin' to go camping. At the end of the month I'll be doing an all-night astronomy "marathon" out in the desert, but that ain't exactly camping. I'll just throw a sleeping bag in the back of the car for a quick nap
