We travel around a bit, and every so often on a balmy evening or a mild mid morning, we're limited a bit now with where we can camp and look at the tent or tent trailer dudes enjoying the outdoor camping lifestyle and I fondly remember the old days with a touch of reminicent envy for that simple go anywhere actual camping ...... then the rain and the cold and the wind belts through, and I say to myself "mmmmm, good tactical decision there Mr Crusty. Well done Sir". I then lie back on the couch with the Foxtel and the remote control aircon (or ducted diesel heater). My biggest challenge is the wondering wondering if I can get through that 6 inch gap between the van awning and car without getting wet.
But its seeing those campers packing up wet tent, in the rain, that truly snuffs out the nostalgia.
