Now for a good a camping story ,
When i was stationed at camp Penn. Cali. I would get totaly SICK of ALL humanity every now and then . I would pack my small day pack with an absalutly minamal load and head over the hills to the beach ( 10 miles , no big , we used to walk 30+miles with full combat load in under 8 hours ) A friend in my platoon had a crossbow pistol with a 70 pound pull bow on it and broad head arrows , i would borow this and pot a few rabbits and rattle snakes along the way . The first time i did this i was suprised to find nude sunbathers ( this was a restricted millatary beach for training , HELL i wasn't even supposed to be there ) . I would gather fire wood along the last few miles and pitch a small camp on the beach . The nudie folks didn't know just what to make of me but were friendly and would share drinks, and food with me , ( i wish i could scan some pics from these adventures but the film was confiscated at the PX when i tried to get it developed , to many nude folks in the pics
).
I would stay on the beach for 2-4 days and just CHILL .
One little pice of advice though pack
sun screen when going NATIVE on the beach !!!!!!
