I really enjoyed tent camping. Thats how it was growing up--Boy Scouts, etc.
When wife and I married--that was the only way we camped. Told her tent camping was real camping.
That was until a camping trip up at Milerton.

Wife was 4-5mo pregnant. We had air mattress, fans, etc and it was not real hot that weekend--but that was the least of the problems.
We were up there with in-laws and friends so a group of about 25-30ppl--also not the problem.

Went to bed one night, turned off the lights and saw a HUGE spider--now we have problems.
I screamed like a little bitch. Woke our entire group up as well as the next 4 campsites around us.
Wife trys to calm me by saying its outside--I reply screaming "no its not!!!"
I curl up in corner and turn on light. MF'er is inside!! I scream more--now surrounding 8 campsites can hear me and I dont care.
I toss her my slippa and yell at her to get it.
Wife is pregnant, middle of night and killing a spider. In my defense--that SOB was huge, like tarantula huge. but skinnier. Must have been close to 3" in diameter (spider grows each time I tell story)
She kills it. I run out the tent. i make her empty the tent cause Im convinced there are more spiders. So now pregnant wife is upset she had to get up, kill spider and now empty tent in middle of night.

Moral of the story?? You should have seen the beautiful trailer we raised our kids in on camping trips.!

I feel like there is a different moral here. 😁

Good morning. Light rain here last night. Great for sleeping. One thing about this place is it’s really kid friendly and they all wake up at 6 lol.

Some guy decided it was time to test all his car doors over and over again as well at 6am😆. Still managed to fall back asleep and we just woke up.

Love the ones that don’t know that the horn feedback for locking the doors is an option that can be turned off.

Used to camp @ Carpenteria & Refugio back in the '60s/'70s. This pic was taken there, 1968, with my first "short" board. A couple of hours after this pic was taken, my brother and I were climbing the face of the cliff at the north end of Refugio Beach, when I slipped, fell about 30 feet and broke my arm and jaw. 6 weeks with my jaw wired shut.

Did plenty of tent camping as a kid. All up and down coastal Ca. and every year a few days in Yosemite. Loved every minute of it. I would still do it but wife will have nothing to do with tent camping, she wont even dry camp in the RV.
