Camping

I was going to write a post about how not to plan a camping trip. Mine was planned for 6 months, I owned most of the gear and yet I was still running around until about 10 the night before. Needless to say I was not happy. But then after a 3 hour drive, part of it in a creepy fog straight out The Mist, I saw this.

It was so pretty and it assured me that my first camping trip would be great! Nature, friends and food, you can't go wrong, right? Things did go wrong, but they were small and most are fixable and didn't take away from the great time I had.
I can't wait to go camping again!
What are some of your favorite trips?
