A Few reflections of the good old days.

I need to mention a few reflections of those good old days before moving on. There was the time that the tent stakes did not make the trip. Sleeping bags were laid directly on a flattened tent. Or the time the Blazer got stuck in a mud hole at 11:00 at night. I remember my wife quietly telling the kids; ' don't say a thing'.

It seems that camping became more popular through the years. And as it become more popular the camping experience changed.  At first you could find a spot with nobody else within miles. Finally it reached a point when you were sharing a tent stake with your neighbor.

And even the camping era can be sub divided. There was the sleep on the ground phase. ( Very short ). Then came the sleeping bag phase. Then the Air Mattress Phase. And the final phase is the talk about it phase. That's when you talk about camping a lot; but spend much more actual time at a Bed and Breakfast.

We still camp. But now we have all the comforts of home in our travel trailer.

But this blogg is not about camping .. it's about travel.
