Camping is probably my favorite hobby. I try to go
whenever I get a chance, of course mainly during the summer months. I have gone all over
out West. And I've done a lot of camping around Wisconsin. This page has some of my
camping memories - pictures and stories - from some of my favorite camping trips [or that
I happened to bring a camera along]. I
usually go 'car-camping' where we pull out the tents but use the car to
store most everything. I also really like backpacking, but don't
have the equipment to do it now.

the rest wasn't...

Devil's Lake,
June 1997 Humid, wet, sticky, hot, but still
peaceful and relaxing, of course.

Devil's Lake,
May 1996 Another Devil's Lake campout. A
pretty wet weekend, but we did hike the cliffs of course.

Spring Break
1996 Rather then going to Florida, California, or
something, I spent my first college spring break camping in southern Missouri. Five
of us decided to take our own trip. It was really cold the first day, but from then
on it was pretty nice weather. And who can object to a week-long spring break that
cost each of us only $50?

Devil's Lake,
August 1995 This picture is of Parfley's Glen -
which is about a 10 minute drive from Devil's Lake. It almost seems out of place in
Wisconsin.

Trip #23, Summer 1994 Our unit got along better then any other unit on the two trips I went on.
(This is of course my opinion and is subject to debate. However, I think at least everyone
in Purple Unit would agree). We actually cooked all our meals, washed our dishes, camped
together, ate together... we just got along great.
For more pictures and stuff, click here or on any of the pictures.

Trip #24, Summer 1995 This was my last chance to go on the trip, and I took the chance. It was the
summer after my senior year in high school. I had another great time. I can't really
compare the two trips - totally different people and a route that was changed quite a bit.
They were both great trips, though. I got to even see Canada on this trip. |
