Let's go camping & campfire conversations ( Archived) (57)

Tommyutah: I love camping. I live in a beautiful state to do alot of camping and backpacking. I'm not so much into camping at a designated camp sight. I would much rather put what I need in my backpack and hike out several miles out into the wilderness. Camping out in the wild by yourself is a rush. To feel the solitude and to feel the adrenaline rush of pure solitude is something that I can recommend highly. I lived 6 years in Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park here in Utah. Being in such a remote place in the US and watching the stars and the Milkyway is really a sublime experience. I would say one of my best experiences in the wild was Kayaking the Escalante River. It took me 6 days to go 110 miles all the way into Lake Powell. The Escalante River was the last major river to be disovered in the lower 48 by white men.

The great outdoors is really something that I will always treasure and always will. Hiking and exploring places and to have a sense of discovery of what is around the corner is something that I will do till the day I die.

Seeing wildlife in it's enviroment and watching and listening to the tree's the wind and wildlife is an exzilerating experience. Its always a good thing to leave the comfort of your own home and set out on an adventure. It always recharges my batteries!!

webbs: I haven't been camping in a long time, but I just went to a campfire last night. My brother has a pop-up camper that he leaves up in his back yard all summer. He has a fire pit and cookouts every weekend. He & his wife sleep in the camper. He figures he has it and can leave it idle until their 2 week camping trip or use it all summer long. He chooses to use it and there is nothing like the smell of the fire, good cooking, and conversation with family & friends. My brother and I usually end up staying out until the fire is done, looking at the stars and just sitting quietly and thinking. It truly is an amazing time.

sassy49senior: This is the tent I slept in on my last camping trip. We spent a couple of days at one of the pow-wows. Had coolers full of food and bottles of water and a fan. Enjoyed good conversation when there were breaks from dancing. Of course mooneyes was a great attraction for kids. They were all very interested in how he became blind.

gooddogman: I have camped in the Black Kettle of Oklahoma in the winter Brrrrr. It is so nice when you can get away from the hiway noise. and listen to nothing but your own breathing...Peace and quite....

prairiewoman: One of my favorite things about competing in rodeo were the campfires every night (okay, and the rodeo dances).

I'll put on the camp coffee and get the marshmallows...

pubwrite08: I know I have lived in the city all my life except for maybe three years of it, And I was young. But I remembered the smells, and the people I was with. I never forgot.

gooddogman: OK how did MOONEYES go blind ?

gooddogman: I can hear the horses snorting and the russel of hay the voices around the camp fire. I like trail riding, I once went 4 months NY to TX..we also had 20 mules camped all the way...
