Did you get to go Camping this year?

oh wow how lucky you are ! I've always wanted to go ZIP lining. They have a few treks near where I live. I've heard it was really fun. How was it?

I wasn't too scared to do it, knowing it would be safe as long as I didn't swing my arms at the cable I was sliding on. The first one I did was a decent sized one, and the more we did the longer and higher they got. The landings are what really got me, you really have to use your feet to control your landing. Also while going down the line, you sorta have to keep a good balance to keep straight. It is fun to spin around while sliding, but sometimes the landings can get rough, so you have to try and spin yourself back around unless your good with your feet backwards. Overall it's pretty fun after you get the hang of it.

That sounds great! Thanks for sharing your experience.

We went to Flaming Gorge in Wyoming, and yes it was a lot of fun. I had been to Yellowstone Park once a long time ago, but it was my first trip to southern Wyoming, and we came back through Las Vegas. I don't gamble, but I do love the buffets.

awe thats too bad. Did you have fun anyways? Where did you guys go?

Sleeping on the ground can be very painful if you have a bad back.

My back was ok way back then but now is a different story. My husband pitched the tent and he didn't know there was a rock under the bottom. That wasn't so comfy.

Thats r eally too bad about the rain. Where I'm from we get lots of rain too. I'm from Vancouver BC. Sometimes you just have to brave a bit of rain if you want to go for a hike or camping.... as long as its not pouring.

I'm with you! I don't like to camp in the snow. Maybe I'll try it once... but usually I like the heat!

You should definately go camping once you've gotten old enough to go without your parents permission. Its very safe and a lot of fun. You just have to learn some basics and then your ready to go. Group camping is super fun too. Just sitting around the fire chatting with friends.

Well, if you enjoy the sounds of the outdoors, you'll most likely enjoy camping. You do alot more than just sit there. You can hike or explore and play games and a whole lot more. I didn't like camping much myself just because I got sick about every time. Maybe just got homesick or something, but not to sure. Really it depends on what kind of person you are. I do like the outdoors and such, but not big on the camping thing. If you do decide to go camping, make sure you find a good tent first, maybe one that can keep out bugs. I'm sure all new bought ones can. Maybe find one with pockets on the inside for small objects, that's good also. A big one helps also for more room to sleep and to store more things. It's better to have your things in your tent to keep from anyone taking your stuff. I kinda hate the morning waking up in a tent, I feel cruddy,cramped, and it's cold and moist because of the dew.
