Tent

[Don]

I didn't realize that I had this pic until I reviewed some summer vacation photos in my digital cam. I guess it turned out good because it wasn't planned or staged. I'm not the best at taking pictures. I liked it so much that it's on my desktop on my home PC.

Many thanks to Duckydoty for showing me how to reduce pixels on my camera so I can post them to the forum from my dial up connection.

I used to love tent camping but anymore my back cant handle sleeping on the ground or even on an air mattress. I wake up feeling all beat up.

Going camping for a week on TableRock as soon as the dogwoods bloom to catch the Spring Bass Spawn, but in fifth-wheel trailer luxury.

Great Pic Don. I like the lighting.

I hear ya man,

My back has been buggered up since I was a kid. I just count my blessings in that I know many other have worse back problems than mine. These days I pump that air mattress as tight as it can get. I hope that 5th wheeler will come someday.

Thanks...Don

Nice picture Don...

I agree on the tent camping. I just can't have a good nights rest in one. I have a couple planned this Spring as I go along with my cub scout grandson. I am like Trav, I feel really beat to a pulp after a night in a tent.

Ditto on the back and th tent. t does seem that you get used to sleeping on the airmatress in a tent after a few days. We go to Buffalo river and a few other places every summer. I love camping. It makes the kids drop their video games. Nothing better than smores and a glass of wine next to a camp fire.

I love that photograph. I recently purchased a Pentax K1000 after reading many of the posts on here. The digital world saves a lot of money on film and developing.

Thanks for sharing that photograph. Makes me want to go camping right now. I could be sipping coffee and watching that tent, while the kids are still sleeping.

Nice pic! I love the tent camping. The wife and I just bought us a new tent last year and have retired the slide-in cab over until the colder weather hits. We use the Coleman roll-out sleeping mats and get a good nights rest. They are only about an inch thick but feel like six! Of course, the back is still okay with me but I know my days coming. Sue, my wife, works at Nu-Wa in Chanute and I keep telling her she needs to tell them to keep her check and just give us one of those!

Dano - try the rollout mat, they really do work!

Yeah, I'm at that age where I prefer to "rough it" in a "Hampton Inn..."

But I do love sitting around a campfire, fried taters and bacon on the camp stove, and all the other joys of being out there.

Beautiful. Just seeing it brought back memories of when I was a Scoutmaster. Waking up in the morning and smelling Coffee and Bacon over an open fire. Now it's wake up at 3am and use a compass to find the bathroom in my house. And I won't comment on any smells.
