Y'all are making me wanna go camping. Maybe this fall when the heat dissipates a bit, we will need to go on a camping trip. I have been yearning to visit Enchanted rock again.
Since I got my van, and lived in it off and on for a while, I haven't camped in a tent. But I would love to tent-camp again. (When I buy a tent, it's the cheapest I can lay my hands on - from Target or somesuch). I do like having bathroom access, but I suppose I could go without it.
Bug repellent with DEET is pretty necessary (I think) if you there are a lot of mosquitos.
I'd bring a lighter. for the kumbaya campfire
ps. most of the time you don't need to use a flashlight. It easily becomes light polution. Last time I saw a headlamp while camping, I wanted to snatch it off the guy's head! Okay maybe I'm being unreasonable.
