How did you begin this hobby?
I started a blog to write articles about our adventures and decided to start back at the beginning. The beginning is always a good place to start. Attached is my article on how we got started. ...

I enjoyed reading your story.
I really do not remember my 1st camping trip, but I have seen the pictures. Dad's VW bus in the background, and six month old ME next to the ol' Army tent...taken June of '64 (Christmas eve Baby) at Pymatuming (sp) state Park. Ohio side, we always crossed over into Ohio from Pennsylvania. Guess my parents felt like they went somewhere by crossing the border.
Tent then pop-up. Pop-up placed on a permanent site in 72-73, Trailer bought, then another. The lot in that CG is still occupied by my brother. Dad moved there year round (bought a B&M just outside CG---can take his golf cart to see brother).
As for us, we like to travel, so no permanent site for us. Same story...tent, pop-up and now a TT. Make at least one trip a year into that CG I grew up in.
OH, and the story about the truck...
Had my 99 Dodge in 2013 when we bought our TT. Pulled good for that 1st year, but she could have used a bit more power. In January of 2014 the Doctor said my ol' friend should be put to sleep. My wallet screamed bloody murder, my heart knew I would miss her.. had her for 15 years.
There was a smile on my face when I came off that lot in my new RAM. My wallet is still feeling the sting.
