How did you get into Rving or camping?
Is being out in the woods some type of gene or in the blood, what is with camping?

The first time my then girlfriend and I went camping together, we camped on the Root River in southern Minnesota. We canoed and stayed on Saturday night. When the 3 ladies went to bed, my friend and I stayed up with the fire and a few cocktails. I finally have enough of both and head to bed, only to find the tent, LOCKED. Yes, locked and yes, a tent :-)
I stated laughing and hooting and hollering ... Good times!
Then, 10 years and 4 kids later, we were going on another camping trip with a few families...we had a tent and used it a few times with the kids and it was fun... Always nice weather. So we were coming up on the trip and a neighbor offered his pop-up. We said no several times but he insisted.... We took it and the first night IT POURED rain. Raining like it rarely rains. We were laying in the bunk end, totally dry, listening to the one family's Mom screaming,"there is a river running down the middle of our tent"!!! She threw everything in their van and grabbed the kids and home she went. My offer of sleeping under our awning was not accepted :-)
I was thinking to myself that RVs were AWESOME. I had been stuck in many rain storms in a tent in my life and was thrilled that we were off the round, dry, and cuddling. It was an awesome feeling and to this day I love being in the motor home in the rain.
It's all better now after 20 years, she drives the motor home and knows how to do all the dirty work. We are on our second RV and she still locks the door in the boonies!
