Have you had a perfect camping trip?
We have. We were in the Big Horn Mountains in the National Forest a few years back with our Best Camping Buddies. No one within sight of our camp. We sat outside longer than we usually do, the ...

We were parked at our favorite camping spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The weather was tee shirt and shorts. It was 7PM and we had setup a candle light dinner under the awning. It was dark the stars were out and the campfire was going, no breeze so the smoke went straight up. Just as we finished eating the fireworks from a nearby fairgrounds started up. We watched the fireworks as we sat next to the fire sipping on wine coolers. I rank that as our number one camping experience.
Number two was at the same spot but in a storm. It rained steadily for a couple of days the waves were pounding. We stretched out on the bed and spent most of one day reading, napping and snacking in bed. Eventhough the sky and ocean seemed angry we felt safe and cozy in our RV. That night we watched out the windows as a thunderstorm came in over the ocean. Lightning struck the islands off shore then the ocean and then it was on top of us. We watched a bolt hit the railroad tracks not more than 50 feet from us. Very exciting.
Number three was in Yosemite. At 1am my DW felt ill so we decided to take a drive through the valley in the cold air. It happened to be a full moon. Yosemite valley was lit up by the moonlight. The granite outcroppings like Half Dome and El Capitan had an eerie glow. The waterfalls were lit up and the meadows were covered in a layer of fog. It was the most beautiful and unearthly thing we had ever seen. She felt fine when we got back to the RV. I was glad she needed the drive, we would have slept through all of it.
