What is “camping”?

From the Thataway Blog:

When you get right down to it camping has nothing to do with where you sleep and change your clothes. It doesn’t matter if you get your milk out of a fridge or an ice chest or whether you cook over a campfire, a Coleman stove or in a microwave/convection oven in your Mini Winnie. Camping is just being away from home free to do what you like because you left your guilt bag behind. It’s the people you’re with, the deeply gratifying thoughtful and funny conversations with family and good friends you never seem to have enough time for. It’s eyes that sparkle just because you’re all together and the stress is gone.

Camping is unleashing your spirit and letting it run joyously free like a dog chasing gulls on a beach.

And when you go home, as you must, your heart is happy knowing you’ll do it again.
