My Campsites+

I’ve traveled our country extensively and have camped in many beautiful places, so I decided to gather pictures of some of the best.  If you start feeling jealousy at any point, the only way to counter it is to get out there and see these places for yourself.  Consider this your primer! Oh, and by the way, these pictures are presented chronologically, so you might recognize the lower resolution of print film (converted from slides) versus the improved technology of digital cameras and camera phones. Enjoy!
