I always have fun camping...until it's time to sleep! Then it's the answering nature calls 6-7 times till about 3 or 4am and wondering just how aggressive a pack of hungry coyotes could actually get, all the while the restless leg syndrome doing its thing.
But the fire leading up to the sleeplessness, swaying with the breeze in the hammock, star gazing and letting your thoughts go where they may...and then catching a few hours of shuteye till the first rays of light begin to stretch across the sky, followed by steaming coffee and watching the morning unfold before your eyes...and the anticipation of getting the bike loaded up and heading out..glorious!
But of late...take the kitchen sink and the sofa, load it into the pickup, sleep better and use the spot as a radius from which to do day rides.
