This post just reminded me of a soap box I like to get on once in a while. I love camping (RV'ing whatever, I still call it camping) but I must say that over the past few years I have really gotten frustrated with it. All of the "must see" places book a year in advance. The way my life and job work with travel, kids activities, etc. I can't even begin to think about next summer. We are happy if we can book 2 or 3 weeks out. We love to just watch the weather and head out for the weekend at the last minute instead of always planning but this has become very difficult. Pipe dream I know, but I wish there were more campsites available at some of these locations. I would love to camp on Assateague but it is very unlikely for many years. I just looked and there is not a single day available for all of next summer and we would love to take our kids there. Frustrating! Maybe we will have to go back to tent camping like when I was a kid. When I was growing up all PA state parks were first come first serve. We would roll in with our tents, pick a site, and setup. Now it's a stressful race a year in advance just to get a site.
OK, back to your regularly scheduled program
