I’m going camping in… eight hours! That said, summer is probably my least favorite time to camp, as well as my least favorite time to do anything else. So glad it’s coming to an end.
Jeans and sweatshirts and hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps. College football on the radio. A campfire that you actually WANT to be near? That’s what fall camping is about.
I live in the forest so every day is kinda like camping. For our vacations we go to cities. We’re leaving in a few days for Seattle and Victoria. We’re going to take Uber for the first time!
@SSteve
This isn’t a tourist thing…but I have heard that Victoria is the world center of Americans who are expat because they support themselves by internet gambling.
@f00l That’s an interesting factoid to be sure. If they’re successful they probably raise the level of quality in the local service industry so that’s good for me as a visitor. It would be kinda like how the growers around here keep the food co-op and sushi restaurants very busy.

@Barney approved?
@brhfl You mean I’m supposed to carry all of that?
@Barney
Don’t you have a pet dino who can be your carryall for camping?
@f00l Nope, but maybe I can talk some @f00l into doing it.
@Barney
Might work. Ya never NO.
But if it’s purple…

@melonscoop around here it’s not uncommon to find flat panel tvs blaring at the camp sites when Alabama or Auburn are playing… sigh
@chienfou I guess if the only way you can get someone to go with you is to bring the TV along, ya gotta do what ya gotta do…lol

Block Rocker! I have given a # of these as wedding presents recently.
Winter, because: Florida.
Outdoor air-conditioning season. Fall.
Fall:
less bugs
less heat
less rain
less people during the week
better vistas and leaf color as leaves fall.
After six years of camping for Uncle Sam the closest thing to camping I want to see is a Holiday Inn Express. /giphy bivouac

Winter in Florida, spring and autumn everywhere else. Hot don’t do it for me at all.
