The girls got to pretend camp in a field on our farm in our old tent. It has been long gone but like you I have fond memories. Sometimes a scent of hot summer air will send me to the place of memories and just last week it did. I recalled my camp counsellor dats back in the late 60's.<br />Again a smile just because you gave me pause to reflect.<br />Can't wait to hear about Wicked.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-8819653062093948292015-07-28T11:55:38.375-07:002015-07-28T11:55:38.375-07:00Good for you.

I can't see myself taking it up. I do miss those days though. I'm into convenience these days. I have no problem sleeping on the floor or the ground, it is the lack of facilities that I miss the most when I camp.

For many years ...You never fail to inspire me DJan! For many years now I've protested that I'm far too old for tent camping. Since you're still out there sleeping in a tent on the ground I guess I'll have to stop using that excuse, or at least acknowledge that it is really just a weak excuse and not a fact. Thanks for giving me a gentle nudge toward getting back out in a tent and enjoying the great outdoors.

I looked at my Blogger Dashboard to find the first time you commented on my blog … it was in January, 2013. Then I looked in your Archives and found my first comment on Eye … January 21, 2013. We have been regular and loyal commenters for each other for over 2 and 1/2 years, but I feel like I’ve known you a lot longer. I really enjoy reading your weekly reflections on life. In today’s post it’s neat to read about how you and a friend camped out. It seems like a forever ago since I did that but I clearly remember the joy of seeing the stars late at night. I also remember the importance of something soft between me and the ground! :-) Thanks for sharing all these little stories. I’ll be looking forward to the next one. Take good care and have a fine week ahead!

I don't know why some people have all kinds of energy and the next one very little energy. I know that in some cases lack of energy can be physical but many times there's not a physical cause. Enjoy the play.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-41695813473128940912015-07-26T13:00:30.685-07:002015-07-26T13:00:30.685-07:00Hum, wonder if I remember how to put my tent up.

That is the true test. You are living your life on your terms, one can't ask for more. Keep enjoying Djan.

But I am very tied into convenience these days. Besides, I do a lot of "roughing it" in my own yard, bush whacking and weeding and crawling on hands and knees in mud and heat and with mosquitoes buzzing about my ears. <br />I do love visiting parks, then finding our hotel. <br />Great post, again, DJan. Enjoy the play. I saw it several years ago in Seattle.

I love your positive spirit and no regrets. <br />When I camped over a Labor Day weekend with friends, I remember having a back ache due to sleeping on a thin mat over sand. There was no back support. That was too bad, because the swimming, food, and camaraderie were wonderful. I just didn't like being in pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-77395696796320653812015-07-26T06:47:03.186-07:002015-07-26T06:47:03.186-07:00You are very fortunate indeed!

In recent decades it's been mostly canoe trips, but a small tent and my therm arrest are just fine.
