Camping...

I live in Venezuela, close to my home we have the Avila, is big montain, maybe next week i go to camping with a couples of friends, we are waiting for the weather be better, stowaway much last. It will take with me all my lanterns and share with you guys some pics...

Meanwhile have some pics of camping to share?

This is on my parents farm in WV:




This is our setup, the tent we bought last month at Cabellas in wheeling WV and some of our stuff and my truck in the background.


And me and our son on the blanket. He turned six months old that weekend.

I guess not many people go camping. Were going again for labor day weekend

I go camping but I don't take a camera - I just want to get away and relax.

Have a good time on your next trip.

Somebody say camping pictures???

These are from GreenRidge, in Western MD-
Here's a small site we found, almost an island, just big enough for two tents and a fire:

We stayed around seneca rocks last year, stayed in one of the cabins in smoke hole, pregnant wife wasn't going to stay in a tent.




Parents farm isn't far from Fairmont, they are over in Preston county.

We didn't take our camera one year and now we regret it because we don't have anything to remember the trip by.

Changchung, Beautiful mountains right next to such a big city is very nice. Have fun with the mountains and the lights!

Eugene and jtice, I've once been camping at Dolly Sods. It's such an odd combination -- parts of it are like an upstate NY pasture, but go a little way and it's the end of the world (cliff). If the WV and Venezuelan mountains were closer I'd go often.

My last camping trip was in Yosemite at the start of this past June. My uncle took most of the pictures from the trip and brought along his HP Photosmart 385 portable printer to print out the pics. Unfortunately, I forgot the pictures in his car ; he says he still has them at his house.

I took a few shots myself right after the Wawona tunnel but usually during camping trips, I'm usually having too much fun to be takeing pics.

Here's a shot of Bridalviel Falls from Tunnel View plus some traffic we encountered. I have more pics on my other computer that I'll post later.

Thanks for this incredible pics and histories, please keep posting, here the weather will worst, me and my friends are waiting for some sunrise for go to camping, were we wanna go is around 18 hours of mountain walking, is not easy to arrive there, but when arriving we are to about 2765 meters of altitude, is very calm, quiet and pacific to take a good rest, it is like the top of the world surrounds to house...

Thanks, count with a lot of pics when we can go to the mountain...

We didn't camp on dollysods, just drove up there and took some pics. While your in that area the Cass scenic railroad is only like an hour away as well as the Green Bank Radio Telescope. The radio telescope sits in a FCC dead zone, its interesting to hit seek on the radio and watch it go around and not find anything.
