Besides, I don't feel that camping is like it used to be -- but I don't know
for sure. In New Mexico where I did over 2 years of camping every weekend,
we camped out of the back of a truck, beds configured in them with pots/pans
underneath them. We drove up into a field. Talk about beautiful mornings!
Well, New Mexico is not called the land of enchantment for nothing.

Now, staying in a motel/hotel is worse than camping out, no matter what the
cost. Gawwd, I hate them!
