This is a response to a query on another forum. Most notable camping experience:
There is a lifetime of best camping trips.
Most memorable was the summer after my high school graduation. My father, probably realizing that this was the last time we would truly have together as father and son before college and the world came into view.
We packed up the car and all the camping supplies and a tarp we would use for shelter and went fishing. The budget was $80.00 and groceries, we fished many streams that week and caught a fair number of fish and kept a couple every evening for dinner.
One evening we were getting low on groceries and walking up from a stream we were fishing and passed by a garden where a lady was working. I greeted her and asked if she would trade some vegetables for a couple Bass. Her response surprised me, "I will fix you dinner with your Bass if you clean them for me". We spent a very nice evening with her family.
The list of memorable camping trips has gone on for a lifetime, but pale in comparison to the standard provided by that trip.
A father, son and the rest of their life meshed together with a love of the outdoors. Time has changed me; the tarp tent has been replaced by the Fifth Wheel Trailer in my sig. What hasn't changed is the desire to see what is over the crest of the next hill or the beauty of wildlife seen thru my cameras lense.
Life is grand.
