Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

The first time I went camping
was when my son was in scouts.

Every year there was family day
with the scouts that last from
Friday to Sunday.

Setting up tent Friday afternoon
to beginning ceremonies to first
night sleep, to early morning coldness,
to breakfast on the grill, the smell
of fresh coffee brewing, to a day
filled with activities, to and evening
bon fire and entertainment from the
scouts and Indian Ceremonial dance.

Award Sunday and finally return
home to a clean bath and comfy
bed and FOOD.....lol

Back in the day i couldnt wait to
get home to have a strong drink
that i had missed that weekend.

Anyway,,,,that was my experience
with camping. Today after my
husband and I finish adding a
higher white fence to our back
yard, i was thinking of getting
a tent and camp out in the
backyard...lol Have the pit
and fire and of course all the
comforts and conviences right
here at home.....esp. the Bath-
room...lol No Porta Pottys.

Where would u like to go camping?

experience or the real mccoy

Is it too cold to go camping yet?

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
