At a time in our lives, we were camping enthusiasts. The open air and Appalachian trails called to us. After a few experiences in campgrounds where drunk neighbors hooked up their VCR to an electrical outlet and watched loud movies 15 feet from our tent, college students played bongo drums well into the night, etc., camping didn't hold the same allure for me.
My husband took my son and his friend to a hike-in camping place last weekend. To get the gear, they dove into the closet-under-the-stairs I had organized so carefully last winter. They were able to find all they needed and some dispensible items . We threw away some things that were well past their prime, and thus simplified the camping gear.
They had a great time. Maybe beer cases or drums are too heavy to carry while hiking and this will be a spot I can happily camp now.
