Camp grounds

My family spent a lot of summers trekking to Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin. We always camped for what seemed to be two weeks straight with no electricity. We kept our perishables in an old ice box that had to be replenished with what seemed to be an 80-pound block of ice every few days. It was a long walk from the South Shore Store and Snack Bar with those tongs in my hand.
When I hit the teenage years, the gang would get a site at Oakey's Orchard on Harlem across from Rock Cut. I can't write about some of the things that happened there, because Mom reads this Blog once in a while. Don't look for it; it's a bunch of houses.
Do you have some good camping memories?

My most interesting camping experience happened after a day of white-water rafting on the Salomon River, in the Pacific Northwest. All of the cabins were booked and it was way to dark to set up camp, so we slept in a teepee. yes, an actual teepee! It dropped to 30 degrees that night but our gear kept us warm. The worst thing about it was the dirt floor...i was blowing dirt out of my nose for a week after that!!
