Our start on Sunday afternoon had us wishing immodestly for the privilege of removing most of the clothing, which we never did or even mentioned. In two words: hot, muggy. Monday we found to be bearable, meaning that with a sweatshirt by day and a heater at night we were uncomplaining.
Then Tuesday came and I was not sufficiently disciplined enough to keep from remarking on the state of affairs, for I wore over my tee two sweatshirts. And a denim jacket. Tuesday night was in the forties, and sitting around inside a camper was much less entertaining than sitting around in my well-insulated properly heated home. We did, though, go with two other couples into Anderson for lunch, a pleasant couple of hours in the car and in the restaurant. But back at the campground we decided as the raindrops started to fall that since we had already paid for Wednesday night it made no difference whether we spent it in the campground or at home, it would cost us the same either way. So we packed up and drove home.
Ah, there is no place like home. Like the comforts of home. Like the heat, the light, the space, the internet access.
But we will go camping again in a few weeks. (Some people never learn.)
Some fellowship, some trail walking, beautiful outdoors.

To each person their own craziness.
Though I doubt this fits in your case.
Chuck, don't be too sure of that.
Well, in all fairness, you can never judge camping weather. But you have to be wise and know when to raise the white flag. Rain usually does that to me.
Trying to figure out if this post is of current or a throw-back post. If this year, do you usually start camping this early in the season?
Lin, our camping experiences have provided us with all kinds of weather. Persistent rain is the worst. But by and large (what does that even mean?) we enjoy our outings very much.
Vee, this was this week. Our first CCF campout is always in May.
