Camping: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

Camping is always an adventure.  However, on our first camping journey of the summer, we weren't expecting to get lost for four and a half hours in "Mystery Valley", almost roll our 4x4 over, get a flat tire, and not get a single day of sun or night of stars.  Yet we still managed to have some amazing moments, and amongst the bickering, my partner and I grew much closer to our wonderful friends and co-adventurers.  No matter what happens, getting out of the big city and sitting by a fire in silence while digging your hands into the Earth is incredibly healing.  And I shot a few beautiful photos to remember what was truly "a trip"!  Being a rather unexperienced camper, I would love to hear your stories of camping adventures, misadventures, and all the rest!
