Yeah I really like the idea of camping - which in my mind would have to be north of here - like northern New Mexico (cooler in summer) or the Ozarks - something like that. But I didn't grow up doing things like that so it isn't in my blood to sleep outside. I fear bugs and wild animals (not snoring ones but clawed ones) so the camper would have to be involved for me to spend time in the house of wild animals.

Snoring/growling.... that is pretty funny. Oh, my Mom just called and had a bobcat in her front yard this morning! yikes

Yeah, Im not a fan of bugs, either. Animals, I find more manageable....

Except bears.

The one animal not inclined to leave you alone.....

Not to say I do it often, especially as the boys have gotten older, but almost every other animal will run off. Bears are nasty bastards, and if they get near food...you don’t want to be at the buffet lol...

We probably average 1-2 bear sightings near the dang grade schools a year. Always a nice call to get.

And I live in a very developed suburban area, though one of the camping places, is on the reservation, 3 miles away..,
