When was the last time you went camping?

I've been going since a child and camp every few months. I love camp fires and the outdoors.

it must be more than two decades ago

I haven’t gone camping since I was sixteen. My church youth group would go camping, and my parents would make me go. We’d camp in tents, fish, and roast marshmallows over a fire, but unfortunately, it had a tendency to rain the times we’d go. There could be like a 10% chance, and somehow it would overcome such low odds, and come down in torrents. On one occasion, it flooded our tents, and we had to spend the night in our church van.

As a teenager, I bought a tent and set it up on our farm. I'd stay in it at night and sleep out there. I took Pretty camping down at a local lake when she was little and we'd spend the night with the tent door open and us laying with out heads outside so we could watch the stars until we fell asleep. When Pretty was around 10 years old, we switched to sleeping in the back of my hatchback Daytona so I could roll up the windows most of the way but the mosquitos still couldn't reach us. We loved watching meteor showers twice a year. Now, "camping out" means sleeping at a cheap motel so I can have a bathroom instead of climbing out of the car to use a tree in the woods. We haven't been camping in years. I don't like "roughing it" anymore.
