Uh-oh. The camping police.

Camping, for me, is partly an activity (doing: exploring and dinking with
camping gear and projects) and partly just being in a pretty place and
soaking in the beauty. I like to read books and sometimes we like to watch
a DVD after dark. The longer the camping trip, the less external
stimulation I need. It takes me a while to wind down to the slower pace of
just camping. And I seldom get bored.
