I'm not sure it counts as "real" camping the way my dad would see it, but it's as close as I want to get these days. Haha I loved the photos you shared. I am about to kick my vacation off soon. We are headed up north to visit my mom. Have a great week, Greg!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-82725082576971646342018-07-04T13:28:20.708-07:002018-07-04T13:28:20.708-07:00I don't do camping...

I can handle no amenities if there's a bed (like a really rustic, tiny cabin is okay---we've stayed in some that basically JUST have beds and nothing else), but I can't stand to sleep on the ground. (And I don't want to go TOO long without a shower.)<br /><br />My kids and I went to the Indiana Dunes one year and took a trail and somehow accidentally going off of it into a REALLY steep area. I don't even know how we managed it. (It looked sort of like a trail still but the very low tree that we had to basically duck under should have been a good clue). I had the <i>hardest</i> time getting back up and thought I was going to end up with heat stroke!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-37328208796092437062018-07-03T11:32:35.727-07:002018-07-03T11:32:35.727-07:00Ooooo, I hate camping!
