Used to camp

I used to camp a lot --5 or more times a year. Now I haven't camped in two years and I have to admit I do prefer the conveniences that electricity and running water bring. Still, every Fall I get a a yearning to spend some time outdoors. There's something about crisp clear Fall weather, that brings memories of warm campfires, toasted marshmallows and peaceful evenings that I really do miss. Since I'm an incurable night owl (2-3 a.m.) I am always amazed that on a camping trip I can fall asleep by 10pm. ...maybe I will go camping this season, but I'll have to tell the rest of the family to leave the cell phone, battery powered tv/radio/mp3s at home.
