Heading out tomorrow morning through Sunday for some camping at Ginnie Springs, just outside High Springs, FL. Beautiful crystal clear water, snorkeling, woods, woman, friends, green, beer, grilling, cornhole! I can't freaking wait to hit the road in the morning.

This is where we are heading, one of my favorite places hit it a few times every year:

Why would I do that when I could just watch tv shows about camping?

Have not gone camping yet, but I have the new tent just itching to get out there. Already have reservations up at Acadia National Park in Maine for mid-summer, going to the UP of Michigan in July, and headed up to Lake Champlain in Vermont.

Last summer I made it to way northern Maine, up by Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy. Was beautiful, but one heck of a drive.

Needless to say, it's a gorgeous state.

I'm obsessed with camping. Haven't gone yet this year but I'd like to take a few trips. Maybe some long weekends to East Harbor or the Hocking Hills area.

Went camping the first week of March in Florida with Apple. We were 400 feet from a beach on Siesta Key. It was awesome.

I hope you beat the storms getting out today. Ginnie Springs is great.
I've tailgated many times with friends from High Springs. His grill/smoker is a trailer behind his pickup.
My tent was 10 yrs old and died at the Rolex 24 this year. Too many rips.
I still haven't got a new tent, but I'm planning to camp in the keys soon.

We did, we had checked the weather in advacne and woke up early Sunday morning to get everything packed up before the rain came. We got poured on though our last trip down the river about 11am though Sunday morning. Friday and Saturday the weather was perfect!
