I've been camping my whole life starting with backyard campouts and local overnights and growing into longhaul RV vacations and backpacking trips. One thing I always bring with me is a hammock (and yes, we even had one set up for backyard camp nights.) I've never regretted the extra bit of weight when relaxing at camp after a long day of hiking in the sun.
The grasses have now dried and turned golden, the air filled with the scents of fall. Eszter stops, "A moose!" Down in the willows along the creek, a single moose munches on the plants. We are far enough away to pleasantly observe the stoic creature in its home, a lovely spot in a high meadow tucked between mountains with no one else around except for us.
