DV, Kudos to you on your charting this new adventure.
I had fantasies of going camping. Last year I was to go with a group I had joined and was planning a camping trip that never came to be. And I sware it had nothing whatsoever to do with my sudden terror based on the movie the "Hills Have Eyes", though that did kind of put a damper on my enthusiasm. But, anyway, I had told some friends about my plans for going camping; and I wondered why they kept looking at me and saying "You, camping", and hysterical laughter followed., but now I can see how ridiculous, with them knowing me, I must have appeared in their minds. But I was serious as all heck.
I was still hoping some day to go camping, but, now with reading all the suggestions and some of the warnings about certaing things to avoid and look out for, the only way I'll verture out to the woods are if there's a cabin set up with local amenities within a five minute drive. The funny thing is, I really was planning my trip as if I was going away to an inn, with the occassional trip into the woods, I forgot about all the bugs and snakes and bears oh, my.. And after trying to pitch a, newly purchased, (I guess poorly made,) cabana on the beach with no success, I can't imagine I would have had a tent up in time to get a good nights sleep. You had to be there for that fiasco. I hope no one took pictures.
Do let us know how your trip goes. I wish I had the guts, I'll just have too live this one out vicariously through you if you decide to share. [:)]
Rosa
