We sleep in tents or rustic cabins.
Meals are prepared on a grill over a fire or on a camp stove.
After dinner we sit around the campfire lazily chatting, watching the stars festooned against a black velvet sky. The moon glows behind a stand of towering hemlocks. The lake beyond is a still black mirror. Tired after a full day's hike, we soon fall asleep. There is no need to carry anything farther than from the tailgate to the table or our tent.
