Just get away ... like this!
I raise this because an old friend of mine declared recently he regularly goes camping with the family. I was shocked. Unlike the surfer searching for the perfect wave, this chap had already found his Xanadu - picturesque, isolated and pristine. It even has a sacred river. He was so enamoured of the site he bought the property and decreed a four-bedroom, twin-garage, cathedral-ceilinged stately pleasure dome.
Camping is not my thing, but before you accuse me of ignorance I'll have you know that I have been camping - twice. The first time was with the local Scouts.
Straight Shooting : Winter-time camping has plenty to offer in the Natural State
Thursday, November 6, 2003
The calendar says it’s November, but based on the recent weather, you have to wonder. With temperatures in the high 70s earlier this week, it’s hard to accept the fact that winter is here. It just seems like fall is refusing to release its grip on northwest Arkansas. But hey, who’s complaining?
