    I have a camping spot my immediate family and I have been coming to for years, ever since I was about 6 years old. It's a secluded spot with a beautiful view, and a fresh water stream that has a spot where the water gathers and warms in the summer making it just warm enough for swimming but cold enough to be a very refreshing experience. Sightings of deer and other wild animals are not uncommon and always exhilarating. We would go twice every summer for about 5 days at a time. My first family dog would jump into the stream after me and we would play water catch and chase fish. An absolutely hair raising experience just to think about all the good times we had there. We still go every now and then but my parents are getting older and they just don't have the youthful energy they once had. Just thinking about going there gives me goosebumps, it is my favorite place in the world and I miss it terribly when I don't go there at least once a year.

      That was deep! Sounds like a lot of nostalgia as well.

        Yeah, a lot of it is nostalgia. Just going there brings back a lot of great memories.
