Speaking of camping.
We returned earlier from a trip to Richmond for a wedding. Spent the weekend in
Pocahontas State Park, just south of Richmond. It's close to I-95 and a great park. Lots of trails, for walking and bikes. Not at all expensive. No sewage hookup, but easily accessible dump station. I don't know of any Virginia state parks that have sewage hookups. We've stated at Lake Anna, Shenandoah River, Pocahontas, and First Landing State Parks. All have been exceptionally well-maintained and very reasonably priced. First Landing is a nice bike ride from Virginia Beach. And, after letters to the state park director, many emails, and a letter to the governor (all from many folks, I'm sure) the parks no longer charge a fee for pets. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Your misuse of the word "camping" is grin-able. |

Your misuse of the word "camping" is grin-able. Watch it. A stupid grin on your face could land you in custody of those guys in the white coats. Give us your version of what camping really is. We can use a laugh, |

Keyser Söze - show quoted text - "Your misuse of the word "camping" is grin-able." 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. What's real camping to you, cuddling up with your dog in the back of your Hilander or whatever it is you drag your boat around with. And I use the term boat very loosely. |

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. Doubt they're laughing, especially when it's rainy or windy. To each his own I say. |

Maybe. . . At least until it rains. You took the words right out of my mouth. Most of the tent campers I've seen lately are cyclists. These young adventurers are probably having the times of their lives. I don't knock what they're doing but I think I've earned some creature comforts while camping here and there. |
