Camping is intense or in tents?

So funny. Shay's arms behind me.

I think they both need a shave!

My favorite camping group ever! Oh how I love thee(s)!

So, we(Casey, Shay, Elijah and I) went camping at Montano De Oro this weekend. I think we all, with the exception of Casey who apparently thrives in this kind of condition, discovered that we aren't much of the adventurer slash campers that we thought we were. Nor are we as experienced as we thought. Lets just say there were raccoons involved as well as a tent that just wouldn't quite cooperate with the wind.
We saw snakes and ticks and crabs, OH MY!
I pretty much already knew I wasn't a camper, mostly because of my love affair with all things technological. Even on our hike, I had my iPhone attached to my head. I also have a hate affair with sleeping, so windy, raccoony conditions aren't my ideal. I am such a wuss, I had to sleep in the car. I have an amazing boyfriend who slept, and slept uncomfortably, I might add, in the car with me. I don't think he wanted the one armed maniac to bust through the window and grab me =). Suffice to say, I don't like camping. I like taking pictures and leaving. That's about it.
The others, I think enjoyed it. Well, I think Elijah and I feel the same way, but Shay and Casey are good and happy campers.

Although I don't really know how to light a fire or pitch a tent or properly store food away from animals, I did enjoy our trip. I like having no agenda, being up close to nature's face, and eating smore's (even though campfire smoke is attracted to my face). In conclusion, I do like camping if it is not too cold and I have trailer. Thank you for your time
