Seems to me there is a new word commonly used to describe what the Johnny and his ilk do.
Believe it's called glaming or something like it. To call what he does
'camping' is an insult to real campers everywhere.



Well, the modern definition is loose enough to cover RV'ing, but
traditional campers must laugh at the sight of all those air-conditioned
portable plastic and aluminum motel rooms on wheels.




Maybe. . . At least until it rains.



Based on the camping people I've known over the years many of those who
enjoy "traditional" camping end up trading in their tents for a pop-up,
then a Travel Trailer or a Class C RV and then to a fifth wheel trailer
or Class A RV. . sorta like having two foot-itist in boating.

Once you get up into that class, 1st class air fare and a suite at the
Marriott starts looking cheap unless you are gone a lot.

Since beginning of March, we've been out at least two weekends each month and a
couple 7-10 trips. Next week we spend four days at Solomons, then straight to
Tennessee for a week. Then things slow down.

I'd say we're getting some good use out of it.

Wow...four days at Solomons Island. What an adventure! Watch out for the
drunks.

Sitting around a nice, big fire with a bunch of friends, watching the sun go down
over the Patuxent, is quite enjoyable.

Of course, you have to have some friends.

Do you wear your cub scout uniform? Well, even though the good
supermarket there closed, and diGiovanni's closed, at least Roy's still
cooks up a decent burger. The barbecue joint there stinks, and while the
Chinese restaurant is decent, the owners think they are in downtown DC
and charge corresponding prices. Of course, you could always go across
the bridge and eat at one of the franchise joints in Lex Park, eh?

Normally we cook together, but we also go to the Ruddy Duck every so often. Don't
need anything on the other side of the bridge.

Learn to cook. Maybe it'll help your disposition and improve your integrity.

Oh, I didn't mention that one because it is really atrocious. It's a bar
that serves food.

There's only three really good restaurants in the area:

Mama Lucia's in Prince Frederick
Jerry's just south of Prince Frederick
Adam's Ribs, a little south of Jerry's.

On Wednesdays between 5 and 6 pm you can get very good fried chicken at
Adam's, carry out or eat in, but it sells out fast. The ribs are very
good, too.

Jerry's has the best seafood in southern Maryland.

Mama's has good Italian food and the best pizza outside of the northeast.

Of course there are only about five tables and a looooong wait. If you don't drink,
the bar is not a fun place to wait.
