Man I REALLY need to get my own gear to go camping. Last time I went it was with my best friend last May. Awesome trip though, we drove down to do the Tail of the Dragon and ended up camping at Deal's Gap. I <3 camping.

Yup it was about a 6 hour drive, 2 and a half hours from any town, made it hard when I had to go to the emergency room though lol. That was the only shitty part about the trip.
camping is the ****! The most affordable vacation.

Actually it's just a Nikon coolpix, not sure the exact model number, not bad for a $140 lil camera lol. I'm looking into getting a d40x, my uncle has the d80 WOOOOWWW nice camera.

Yeah, there was a bear running around with a couple cubs too. We just threw away our tent, had it for 10 years time for a new one that doesn't take 3 people to put up haha.

wow thats a close encounter! Did you guys have a gun? The woods in those pictures looks totally different than it does here. It looks like the forest from the movies.

Funny you say that, I can honestly not remember a single family vacation where we didn't spend it in a tent vs a hotel. That's just the way my mom and dad liked it and the way they raised me. I absolutely LOVE camping. There's no better way to put yourself at ease. This is gonna sound weird, but especially when it's raining (after you set up camp of course!!!!!!!!!).....it's just soooooooooo calming.
