KOA = Kamping On Asphalt

or, if the KOA is large enough,

KOA = Kamping On Airstrips

KOA is not camping...it is paying to sleep in your vehicle in a fenced
parking lot. I think that is why they can't call it CAMPsites of
America...they have to misspell it with a K.

If that's what matters... why do people leave their suburban, manicured
lawns with nice clean painted fences and go out into the dirty unkempt
wildness of the country side?...... when someone tells me a KOA is nicer
than a trip to Alaska... I can only gag....There are some people (like
myself) who can only live in the country, cause it's the only way I can
have
a yard just totally FULL of wildflowers, animals running thru my yard (no
not teenagers) and a river full of trout..... Yeah Koa's are almost as nice
as plastic flowers....barf...
