It's official! I booked the camping trip for September next year! I'm going way out of my comfort zone, I am not one for primitive living lol. However my hubby has been talking forever about taking us and he's done so much for me over the years so I'm excited to present him this gift and pull off all the planning 💜
@EllyOnTheGo yay!!! Where ya headed? 💜💕
@Valkyrie_D Lake Placid, NY 🏞
@EllyOnTheGo oh wow!!! That sounds amazing!! You guys are gonna have so much fun!! 💜 I LOVE camping. 🏕️
@Valkyrie_D I'm hopeful it goes well! Where do you like to go?
❤️@Valkyrie_D @EllyOnTheGo
@Valkyrie_D Holy wow that is beautiful!!!
@Valkyrie_D See this ties in with your reply to me. I've done similar in Scotland. The last time included camping near Ben Nevis then climbing it (an easyish trail with compass & OS maps, rather than the crampon way) the following day. Similar things on Skye too. You'd love it! @EllyOnTheGo
@EllyOnTheGo Oh Elly, that sounds like it's going to be amazing! So what's the deal - did hubby like to camp before you were together or something, or is it something he's always wanted to do together?
@Valkyrie_D - why doesn't that surprise me about you? I used to hike & camp all over the Scottish Highlands a few times a year, often parking up then hiking for a couple of miles to find a good spot to pitch the tent away from everything
(Not my pic, but this kind of thing 🏴 )
@BillyBones THAT…that right there is heaven to me!!!! I’ll even fish or hunt for my own food. I’m fairly outdoorsy! 💕 I feel closer to nature than I do humans.
@BillyBones @Valkyrie_D He's camped a few times before as a kid but his love is photography. He loves taking photos of nature and wildlife
@EllyOnTheGo my best friend is a wildlife photographer!!! He goes on camping trips just to shoot wildlife in their natural habitats🦉 🐻 🐟 Make sure he brings his camera and a chair!!
@BillyBones
@EllyOnTheGo Fantastic! Hope when you end up going that you have a wonderful time and make sure to share some photos with us here!
@Valkyrie_D
@EllyOnTheGo I love packing up my car, driving to remote locations and wild camping! Next summer, I want to climb a mountain called Strathcona. I’ll camp at various lakes on the mountain. Cream Lake is my mission!
