Finally got to spend the holiday weekend camping at Moosehead Lake. The state has made wonderful rustic campsites in many places along the lake. Outhouses, fire rings and picnic tables right on the very edge of the lake.<<<
Fantastic!!!
And with all the folks not using the camp ground, nature is showing up again.
We started camping in a 55 Chev wagon, slept 3 in the back and one on a cot or in the front seat.
There is a good feeling about being outdoors and I never learned to enjoy hotels and motels.
I am so glad you got to go and camp.
Our first new vehicle was a Nash Rambler wagon. The front seats dropped down making a bed. Us two adults slept in front. Our four tykes slept in sleeping bags in back-two facing the front and two facing the back. What good times we had!! Cooking over a campfire, catching frogs and tadpoles, counting stars, watching for shooting stars, counting the calls of a whip-poor-will before he stopped to catch his breath. As I look at my great-grand children today, I feel so sad for what they are missing as they carry around their I-Pods, play computer games and text on their cell phones. Their parents, my grand children, are frantically trying to keep up with the Jones, hiring landscapers and never taking a minute to smell the roses. Of my five children and five grand children, hubby and I are the only ones who still have a vegetable garden. So very, very sad.
