Thirteen Reasons I Love Camping

Campfires – the snap of dried kindling, the smell of wood smoke

Watching the night sky- shooting stars, the Milky Way and the occasional UFO

Laughing with my family – Every trip is filled with something stupidly funny

Meeting People from Everywhere – I've never meet a stranger

Hiking – Walking to out of the way places, seeing what others miss

Getting dirty – Whether hiking, panning for gold, or digging for diamonds, getting dirty is good clean fun

Eating fresh food from local farmers – stopping at local markets and eating local, yum, nothing like it

Having no cell phone service – being able to disconnect for a few days – heavenly

Snuggling in a warm sleeping bag with hubby – nuff said!

Eating Smores – another pleasure of a campfire

Watching sunrise with a hot cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning

The smell of a pine forest – eternal
