We spent October camping. We camp in our Sprinter van I fitted out with a queen size bed, drawers, refrigerator, micrwave, portipotty and other good stuff. The trip covered 5800 miles through 17 states.
We wandered down the Great River Road from Lake Itaska Minnesota to the Mississippi mouth south of New Orleans. The river flows through the heart of America and the in depth experience of flyover heartland America is hard to beat.
We camp mostly in State Parks but check into an RV park once in a while to do laundry and catch up on TV news.
On topic, we saw one black woman camping with her white husband at Lake Itaska State Park. After that we saw only one more black camper, also a woman with a white husband in Mississippi at Natchez State Park.
Lest you chide us for van camping, we are back packers who have lost the urge after we turned 65
I think that’s great. I’m a couple years short of you and still backpack, but my wife leaves that alone. Trailers and vans are fine. With the crazy luggage restrictions, I’d love to see a conversation about flying and camping/backpacking
Win.
Altho I’m young enough to roll out a bag under my jeep now.. When I’m that age, I hope to still be that spartan.
Only for CAMPING; I hope!
