Altoona
Coalport
Madera
Curwensville
Red Lion
Dallastown
Shrewsbury
York city

How about one of these?
Nah we used tents when we went camping. I haven't gone since I was a kid, camping really isn't my thing though.
I was going to like your post for tent camping, but then had to take it back when I seen you hadnt been since you were a kid lol. Dont let your inner kid die Iggy, go camping again... when it warms up some of course lol. The thing I started getting into less than 10 years ago, backpacking. Just off in the woods away from it all, no signal, just what you have in your pack. Solo can be very rewarding too. Just chillin' by a stream, cup of hot tea in one hand, a book in the other, campfire right in front of you, and nothing to bother you. Fuck now I wanna go! :Grin3:
If I had alzheimers I'd pause to consider if I wrote that except I keep a shortwave and a deck of cards in all my packs that are primed with gear and ready to go, two for recreation; a three day and a two week monstrosity I'd routinely overload with weight, then have to make sacrifices either omitting certain things or going with lighter more compact versions of essentials.
Ever been on the Appalachian trail? I've done a hundred north and about seventy south of where I pick it up in NY and doing the whole stretch from Maine to Georgia is on the bucket list.
All kinds of people are on it from earthy hippy types to this gaggle of giddy girls from Italy who probably shouldn't have been on it because they used up a whole Bic lighter failing to get a fire going for two days since there was intermittent drizzle lol. (imagine the Kardashians, dressed to look the part and then being dropped in the wilderness). We left them behind us after two days with a fire steel because they were kind of slow and we had a schedule to keep but the thought they might end up on a milk carton was on my mind for a while after that.
Going off the grid is great when the tedium of the daily routine gets to me, plus nothing keeps me from taking the comforts of home for granted like a few days worth of having the overlooked root of a tree subtly poke me in the spine all night right through the mat. I get home from that and start snoring within two minutes of hitting the pillow every time.
