Why do I like to camp in national forests and grasslands? Here are my ten reasons to go camping:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A big reason is camping is better than therapy. \u00a0Afterall, John Muir said like, “The wilderness is an antidote to the stress of modern life” and I concur.<\/li>\n
  2. Another reason is discovering a quiet, two-lane road lined with the small towns and farms that are the foundation of my country.<\/li>\n
  3. And than being wrapped in the absence of silence is a good reason. \u00a0Falling a sleep to the sound of the wind whispering secrets to the trees and waking to the cheery racket of an early bird and his friends are good reasons.<\/li>\n
  4. Meeting new people with interesting stories to tell.<\/li>\n
  5. Watching a sunset in a new place and sunrises over a landscape as old as time.<\/li>\n
  6. The smell of a campfire and the squeals of my grandchildren discovering a fuzzy caterpillar crawling up a tree.<\/li>\n
  7. Talking with a special someone in the glow of a campfire.<\/li>\n
  8. Hearing the hoot of an owl or lonely howl of a distant coyote or wolf in the middle of the night and knowing I’m not alone.<\/li>\n
  9. Discovering my country and its beauty.<\/li>\n
  10. But my biggest reason is to escape the hustle-and-bustle of the modern technology-filled world.\n
