The Camping Experience

Over the many years The Frau and I have been acquainted (and married) we've done a great deal of camping.  We've camped across the breadth of Canada, south to the gulf shores, all of the southwestern US, most of Wisconsin and we even took a Jeep trip across the rocky mountains.  

In the past decade and a half we haven't done much camping at all - a result of two homes, a tree farm other recreational pursuits and a dearth of time.  Nevertheless, we've culled-thru and saved most of our camping equipment when we down-sized the past winter.  And it was fun to break-out the Eureka, heavy-duty Outfitter model A-frame tents to invite the grand kids to camp in the yard.  It was a first experience for the grandson and a positive event for him as well.  We discovered the Labs enjoyed the experience as well.

It also scratched an itch I've forgotten and perhaps when I retire some day there will be more time for camping pursuits.
