A couple weeks ago, we rode bikes out to a local preserve and went "camping". I use the quotations because in my mind, sleeping outdoors overnight is a key component of camping, and I for one did not spend the night. I had work the next morning and figured it would be easier to just ride back home late at night. I still had a great time however, and it felt like actual camping.
We eventually got a fire going and roasted some potatoes and veggies along with some wild asparagus that we found in the woods. There was also garlic toast, s'mores, and a variety of other camp treats being prepared. There's something about cooking food over an open fire that just makes it taste better than anything.
Our campsite was under a canopy of pine trees and the ground was covered in a blanket soft pine needles. The weather was perfect and the sky was clear and star-filled. It was an excellent night indeed. Camping season is upon us and I hope to really take advantage of it this year.
