Rocky Gap State Park. It's my favorite place. In the Mts. so it's still relatively cool in the summer. Lake for chick watching, relatively big so it's not crowded, nice pads for setting up the tent.
First time I went 13 years ago, there was a terrible commotion in the middle of night. Not an EDCer then so I had a giant bowie knife and a maglite.
I stumbled out the tent half drunk wielding a huge knife and standing before me was a giant thunder skunk. Big as a grizzly, mean as my ex-girl friend, and as stupid as Ogre. It saw my bewilderment and lack of food and trounced off in disgust.
Camping is fucking awesome. Love the nights hiding beer from the man while chillin' in front of the campfire. Best feeling in the world. Cheap too.

Last time I went camping we somehow ended up with train tracks less then 50 feet from our tent. We didn't know they where there until about 2am. I had to hold my wife down do she wouldn't run out of the tent. She thought it was going to hit us

Have a couple camping pics. Nothing extraordinary just some cool shots.
Here's a shot of me working the flint and steel. Great timing on that shot.
A couple creepy crawlies my daughter found.
Not the thunder skunk, but one of her babes. Thunder skunk was out the night before but we didn't have the camera ready. Not the best pics. The little guy was strutting all over the place.
A pretty cool tree knot that looked like a gnome.
Some Deer having breakfast on the way out.
Overall a 5. Rained on the final morning so that was shitty. A few campsites up had a couple families and their RAT BASTARD MFing SPAWN with them. Totally un-supervised. Ran all over the place. I fucking hate kids. Boat rentals were packed so missed out on that. I did get to throw back a few brew chilling by the campfire though and that for me is the most important part. I seem to wish the day away waiting for dark. The chorus of froggies, a little easy listening on the radio, and so yum-yum juice. Weather was good too.

I don't know what that look is for, but I had nothing to do with that looking like a gnome. It just did.

Oh my RAT-3 sucked. I wanted a fixed blade for camping primarily for batoning. Likely going to get another BK2 or equivalent. The RAT managed, but it wasn't easy. Also got to use my Wetterlings SAW13 hatchet. That was fun.
Couple things I did forget since I'm getting old. Gloves. I got plenty of splinters and blisters (fire and chopping). Knee Pads. Could have come in handy with wood splitting. Ear Plugs. A lot of shithead kids like to get up at the crack of dawn and piss me off. There really should be a hunting season.

The little soda can alcohol stove worked like a charm too. Very handy for boiling a cup of water for some ramen noodles or for roasting a sandwich wrap. I tried the salt trick and it did work. Turned the typically invisible alcohol flame a light orange color.
