simplicity

I have camping on the brain!
A few years ago we had to drive a ways to look at a potential job for a friend. I loaded the trunk of the car with sleeping pads and bags, food and cooking, a tent and the basics. Once we had looked and measured the job, we drove up a creek by a state campground.
"Miriam, why don't we camp here for the night??
"I don't have my nighty."
"Yes you do."
"We don't have a tent or sleeping bags."
"Yes we do" and so on.
Had I put gear in the back seat I could have brought the big tent, but she would have asked about it.
We stayed overnight, drove to the next town and ate breakfast in a restaurant.
Some how camping out of a little car in a little tent has a lot going for it.
It was a good trip.
Ahh, simplicity.
