Have you ever been camping? – An interesting question from the daily prompt.
I really have to think back about this question. I think I remember camping out as a kid in the Cub Scouts. I know I slept under the stars a few times as a teenager when pulling all-nighters.
I remember camping out all night long for concert tickets when you had to buy them at the box office.
I’ve slept on a beach overnight. I’ve slept on the 18th green. Ah those younger days.
The Daily Writing prompt asks – Have you ever been camping?
Does sleeping out overnight in line for concert tickets count? If so I have several of those experiences. Some youngsters might question why one would sleep outside the box office overnight for concert tickets. That is how you got the best seats back in the 70s.
Camping, brought back a few memories. I had to check to see if my Boy Scout Cook kit with the case, was still in my possession. And it is.
I might have to give this to my grandson to beat on. Bad photo by Mike Hartley, hey I’m half asleep at the switch here.
When I was very young we went camping a few times. In my teens, I slept under the stars a few nights or on the hood of a car, maybe once or twice in a tent that I vaguely remember. I’ve cooked over an open fire in the woods.
But not in the traditional sense of camping. I love being outside, with nature, but I’m also into comfort at this age. Hey, who knows, maybe I’ll turn over a new leaf late in life.

Camping is probably out but a little hiking might be in my wheelhouse.
