Camping Allows No Wearisome, Humdrum Sermonizing!


"Camping:  the delight of picking a place - fresh, beautiful. Here are no wearisome sermons – comfortable, commonplace and humdrum.  Instead, there is an escape from every phase of civilized formality, from all the fixed societal laws of action. Here we find ever-changing scenes: new “furniture” in the dining room every day and every meal."
