Fun in Sequoia

We got married at the Awanhee! It was lovely.

I'm never miserable while camping. But then discomfort doesn't particularly bother me and even if things are great in a particular moment overall it is always good.

But I do eat well when camping. Providing a quality meal after a week of living out of a cooler is one of the fun challenges of true camping. Nothing like being on day 7 out in the desert and hand making ice cream or something like that.

On the other hand...

I don't camp. "Roughing it" for me is a Holiday Inn instead of a Hyatt Regency. I appreciate The Outside, but I believe it's best appreciated in the comfort of an air-conditioned lounge, frosty beverage in hand and stacked blonde on arm, on the other side of a large piece of plate glass. Tinted glass.

You can have my spot at the campsite, I don't mind.

LOL Yeah, I think Camp Curry is roughing it. Except for the loft. That was nice. Not the Awahnee but still....

I don't camp, either.

But, those pictures make it look fun....

Yeah, it has been kind of sucky that none of the friends I've made in California are really camping people. We have one couple that likes to car camp and I do that with them but it is always in reasonably civilized people-packed campgrounds like at Seqouia or Yosemite.

One time I was supposed to camp with them in a great spot above Point Reyes and they never showed. Turns out that they got there before me, saw that the parkings spots were about 100 yards from the camp sites and said "screw that" rather than carry all their stuff that far (and they bring plenty of stuff; litterally a kitchen sink).

Oh well. It really pisses me off, though, that they are starting to install WiFi in various state park campgrounds in California. If you can't disconnect when you go camping then just stay the heck at home.

If you ever renew your vows....

Hand made ice cream at the desert? Mmmmm....

The Hubster is a great cook, even camping. And, he even can go and fetch a few coffees on his bike.

My favorite parks: Disneyland and Yosemite. And here I sit.

I am so grateful to you guys for sharing your stories and pictures.
