30 days in the box

Postby cherokeegeorge » Mon Dec 22, 2014 10:02 am

This year I set a goal to camp 30 nights in my trailer. Going camping for new years and new years eve will be 30 :thumbsup: . And I will be camping with my daughters family (new 560 camp-inn) and my parents who are in their 80s .

My peeps were victims 9 months ago of a home invasion robbery. Suffering from some ptsd and needing to be away from their home they got a rpod, and have gone back to camping, something they had a real passion for when I was a kid. So, camping for 3 nights to start the year and 4 generations of campers.from 83 to 4. Does it get anymore special?

Sounds like a plan. A mighty good one.

George, Hope you and your family have a great time camping together. Living in SoCal as you do four season camping is doable. Enjoy your good times "in the box".

I'm jealous. I spent 21 nights in the box up here around 45ºN this year and don't feel it was enough, but getting beyond the winter solstice yesterday gives me hope.

I can't imagine experiencing a home invasion, especially from a family standpoint.

Brian, it looks like you've started a new years tradition.

Tony, it's been very traumatic for them emotionaly. But the silver lining is, the've gotten back into camping. My dad was my camping role model.

I only got in 25 days this last season, but all of them were in the woods, none of this "garage/yard" camping. Doug

Only 22 for us in the tear, but we also had 9 in the big trailer.
Will have to do better next year.

And like Doug, all were "in the wild"

Way to go George. :thumbsup: I did not get in as much teardrop time as I would have liked this year but hope to do more next year, When I first saw the title to this "tread" I thought maybe you had been sentenced to do some time! :lol: :lol:

I only got in 13 days in 2014. 10 of them at Burning Man or a BM regional.

Gotta do better in 2015. Now there is a new years resolution. More camping in 2015

They were all in the wild Douglas. No hook ups, no showers, hey, didn't you camp in Jeromes back yard? ;)

Funny, every time I read your title, 30 days in the box, the first thing that I think of is that somebody's been in the slammer. After all, most of our tiny trailers are not quite box shaped. :lol:

Congratulations on doing 30 days time in your own personal joint. :thumbsup:

Hmmmmm? Is there something you need to get off your chest? Something from the past? A calendar or two of hard time in the crowbar motel for stealing firewood? :shock:
