It's A Sad Day

Sooner or later we'll all have our last camping trip in the books. We're all alike in that.

But while there may not be any more trips to plan, we never lose the memories of the good times with family and friends we've accumulated over the years. Those hours around the campfire, the open sky at night, and even the hassle of packing up at trip's end never leave us. We don't turn them in when the camper pulls down the driveway behind someone else's truck. We get to keep them.

Great memories never give you a sore back, or a sunburn, or a bill to pay. And beyond a certain point, that starts to look pretty good.

So it's not really goodbye to a camper. It's the conclusion of a successful campaign of excursions and adventures. And a good time to reflect on all you've accomplished!

But stick around. Just like anyone with a long career, your wisdom and experience are valuable to the rest of us, even if you've "retired"! Swapping stories is a great way to relive the best of days gone by!
