A time to unplug, reflect and enjoy
By Jennifer Pudenz
There’s something about camping. Life simplified for the moment with the scenery, the campfire, the stars, the food and the people enjoying it all with you. I really feel like camping at least once a year is crucial, as something inside you just seems to refresh itself staring at a fire and stars instead of a TV, and waking up to nature instead of an alarm clock.
However, when summer days start winding down and the busyness of back to school takes over our lives, people often overlook the fact that late summer and early fall are possibly the BEST time for camping! This time of the year, there’s often more enjoyable weather with cooler days and perfect jacket-wearing nights, less bugs and less people. Not to forget the fishing is usually improving again too!
Camping really ties into about anything and everything outdoors: hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, paddling, tubing, etc. It can be solitary and relaxing or it can social and adventurous, the possibilities and traditions are endless! So here is some more inspiration as well as some great camping gear!
