Sunset at Grass Valley Fairgrounds

There are loads of reasons to go camping.

• get out of town
• fresh air
• visit new places
• hook-up with friends
• relax

and I am certain there are more really good reasons to go camping.  But do you know what the #1 reason to go camping is?  You can get in tight with Mother Nature and have a front row seat to her nightly show!

When you are out of town….camping…..away from the hustle and bustle of your daily grind, and put distance between you and the bright lights of the big city, you get to see some stuff you might otherwise miss.  As an example, do you know there are actually stars up in the sky, and you can actually view them with your own eyes?  No telescope required!  And, do you know those geese you see off in the distance, flying in perfect formation?  They hang out at the ponds and lakes just outside of town.  Who knew??

You also have the chance to smell things you might know little about.  Such as, were you aware there are actually trees that smell really good?  They smell similar to that little tree hanging in plastic from the rear-view mirror of your car or truck…..but better!  Have you smelled a campfire lately?  Fantastic!

And then there is the relaxation part of camping.  Just think, you are out of town, hanging with friends, in a new place, enjoying the fresh air, relaxing while the sun busily settles below the horizon off to the West.  What a great way to spend a weekend.

Make plans to join in the fun, Mother Nature is calling your name!
