Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust got back from a four generation camping trip. What a great time.
I went to the lake with my daughter, one of my sons, his wife, 4 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.
We did tent camping at Lake Ouachita, a beautiful spot in the Ouachita National Forest. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, swam in the lake and collected quartz rocks and pine cones. Cooked a lot of good food in the cast iron Dutch ovens. We had a bit of rain Fri night, but weather was great, otherwise.
I got my Senior Pass which gives me discounts for fees at National Parks and other federal recreation areas. It's only $10 for a lifetime pass. (The price goes up to $80 later this year.) It might be something to check out if you plan to visit any of those places.
