Camping

Times have changed and how we camp today is a far cry from the way my great-great grand pa came to California back in 1848. 

Imagine making 20 miles a day over country side with no roads or even a Seven-Eleven in sight...Now days we travel in Air Conditioned comfort,  satellite television entertainment and Slurpee coldness to wet our whistle.

The old days were not romantic or comfortable.  But still it must have been something to set off from back east to the vast unknown and not knowing even if you would arrive alive at your new home.  And you had to bring every thing with you to start your new life.  Today on the other hand people come out west for a week long visit and then go back to the "Real World"...I always feel that when we go camping it is sort of like visiting another state of mind or detention  where what was so important back home has no existence when camping.
If you want to rejuvenate your mind and get out of your comfort bubble for awhile...Go camping!!!
