Hey! Have fun. I live in NH, it's an alright place.... I .. guess. I'm living there. ^^; Good luck looking for a DDR machine, There aren't many places to go. gonk And rarely will you ever come across a place directed for kids/teens, like arcades.
Camping is alright, though! I used to do it a lot with my friends, Perhaps we should get to it before the summer ends. (There are enough places to do it, .. And fishing.)

I went camping on Mt. Washington once. We where going to hike to the top but my mom got sick and we had to go back down. Other times have just been in random woodland areas in New England. My family isn't really big on the outdoors the way I am.

Camping? Like outside? In the wilderness? I went camping once, and never again. Absolutely positivity hated it. The remote thought of sleeping near dirt is just ew. Then that horrible unpolluted smell, ugh. And all those little creatures that will bite your hand off. Horror, pure horror. I hope I never have to go camping again.

I love it. Being with nature gives me the opportunity to revel in savagery. I remove all my clothing, forget spoken English, and start ripping the flesh off racoons with my bare teeth. The last time we went camping, my family had to shoot me off a tree with a tranq gun to get me to go back home. I apparently had a few broken ribs from a situation I vaguely remember about me fighting a bear for a mate. I also had to swear off fish for a while. Too much fish. Ugh.
Seriously, though. I love being outdoors. Yes, it's annoying and it tests our limits, and sometimes it's gross. That's the point. To remember where we came from, and how far we've come. To relate again with the source: the fountain of life that wrought our species. I love nature because it is beautiful and horrible all at the same time: subtle and gross, and not for the timid.

I like spending time in nature. I like rowing. I like rafting( sort of), I want to try kayaking. I loke hiking. BUT at the end of the day, I want a modern comfy bed. And in the morning, I want a hot shower. Sleeping under the stars is nice. Being eaten alive and tossing and turning on hard dirt or an awkward pad all night is not.

I wouldn't mind going camping for once. I don't mind soil or animals, or anything else in the wild. The only problem is the mosquitos love me, I don't know if I'm a delicacy or just nutrient rich, but they swarm around me. I can be in a crowd of nine people and I'm the only one that's bitten. What's worse is I'm mildly allergic to the saliva, so it swells up nicely too.
Must... not... scratch. The one on my leg almost looks like it's raw. eek

I only went camping once. I wasnt like.. in a tent on the dirt, I was in a little cabin. Although a wasp still managed to come inside and sting me. xp grr. I prefer sleeping at home. Comfy bed, a fan, and no ferocious insects.

I just got back from my backpacking trip in the Sawtooths. Scaled 1000 vertical feet in 2 hours. Damn, I feel accomplished.

ShalomBatJew I just got back from my backpacking trip in the Sawtooths. Scaled 1000 vertical feet in 2 hours. Damn, I feel accomplished. I should feel embarrassed and my masculinity threatened. Instead, I'm inspired to move my lazy a**. However, if I go camping, I might as well rent a bubble to avoid the hordes of mosquitos. I think one managed to get past a sock to get at my ankle... stare

Stupid Westnile x.x!!

I went camping with the boy scouts once. Slept outdoors, ate cold instant oatmeal. Got dewed upon. Climbed a mountain. Then we went home. The next day, as they were planning the next mountain to climb, I got the giggles and couldn't stop. Next day, I quit that troup.
I've also been camping with my family. I really like Yosemite, horseback riding, tubing down a slow-moving stream. Hiking and that sort of thing. Mom got poison ivy up all one arm one year, and that wasn't fun, but I never had anything like that happen to me.
I went to Texas this summer with my boyfriend and stayed in his grandpa's lakehouse. That was enough like camping, with the hot showers and real bed. I think I can do without the hard beds and cold showers and campfood. Dairy Queen does make a nice blizzard too.
