Camping: a Relaxing Evening Under the Stars

I think that camping can be one of the most relaxing ways to spend a free weekend - if there's a music festival on, get your festival camping gear and head off to it hoping you get can get a ticket! My girlfriend and I try to spend at least one weekend a month under the stars. Last weekend we loaded the car with our sleeping bags, a tent, fishing poles and her guitar and then headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway to find any spot that caught out attention. On the way there, we stopped to pick up supplies at a local grocery store. For us, this means hot dogs, some dark chocolate, and a nice jug of red wine. After getting our site set up, we wandered down to the creek to toss in our lines with the expectation of not catching anything and enjoying ourselves anyway. As the sun set behind the mountains, we headed back to the camp, gathering firewood along the way. We roasted our hot dogs and relaxed in the fresh mountain air. The next day, we we cleaned up the site, repacked the car and made our way back home, ready for another month of work and stress until our next trip.
