I love camping but where I grew up in the bustling skyscraper city of Singapore, only homeless people went camping. Even then, they were a rare find because the infamous social engineers of Singapore were quick to spot them and usher (read shove) them back to civilization. Think about it, if it’s illegal to chew gum in that country, you think they’ll let you lie on a grass patch in the middle of tourist-ridden Orchard Road to gaze at the Big Dipper?

Anyway, my home today is in a quiet suburb of Boston, Massachussetts now. I live in a household of 6, and one of the rare U.S. households where there are more adults 4 (me, spouse, his parents) than kids 2. You see why I need to be outdoors a lot? Thankfully nature and the beautiful outdoors still exist here in the beautiful United States of America. Popular Posts on my Blog http://www.JoyOfCamping.com are:
