another week of tranquility

I used to love camping...now I think I might be a little used to the city life. I remember being a little girl camping with my parents out in WY and we would have to pump and filter our own water...<3ed it. Oh, and we would go up every year looking for fire wood and for our xmas tree . My parents rock

Pump-filters are awesome! It's a lot more fun than boiling the water.

I just went camping at Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness in Michigan (about 3 hour drive) and it was incredible. Right next to the water, nearly empty (until a couple days in when the whole state showed up) and amazing views since you can camp anywhere. I refuse to camp anywhere with "sites". Only the wilderness will do now. Unfortunately, it's really fucking hard to find wilderness areas these days!
