Eternal Hippies A Year Homemade and Beyond

Next to living at the campground, reliving it is very calming. Even the rough parts are smoothed over by romanticizing. Thursday-  Campsite 32-Just pulled in and looking where to set up the tent and shelter. Fairly level campsite. Pine tree canopy. Fire ring off to the side, near where we parked the van.    We moved the picnic table to where we wanted it and Joe used it to help set up the shelter. It only takes us about 10 minutes to erect the tent, takes longer to make it homey. Tent with rainfly on and twinkle lights. Joe is so clever! He used clothespins to hang both the lights on the tent and the tarp onto the shelter. After dark, the bra comes off and the campfire burns! Now that's comfort!!!! Later in the evening, Joe makes hot tea and we enjoy s'mores. The graham crackers are organic, but not the marshmallows or the chocolate. Shame! But it was a treat for being good campers! LOL Friday- We start...

We left for the campgrounds on Thursday, April 19 and stayed until Monday, April 23rd. Arrived around 3:00pm and set up at site 32. It's a good site and close to the shower house. I'll post pictures soon.In the meantime, I've already uploaded the videos I took. There would have been more, but I ran into the problem of storage space on my camera. We explored the park and found a trail from our site to where Lake Norton would have been.  In the videos of us driving around the campground, we point out different sites that look inviting. Lake Norton was drained during Hurricane Matthew and will be fixed started next month. That information was not verified, just discussed among fellow campers. We really enjoyed being outdoors and quickly got used to living at the campground. We love, love, love camping!!!
