My husband said no tents and we got a camper. Nothing fancy but serves it purpose. And we are as different as Apples and oranges. I had horses growing up and wanted to raise them but destiny had a different plan and said you play you pay. Never go to a river on a full moon drunk lol. We never got to really do anything camping or outdoors. He likes fishing which I do to but I like being outdoors and hiking though as far as sleeping on a side of a cliff not sure even I could handle that lol. I’d be terrified. But we compromise mostly he does his thing I do mine and sometimes we do things together. But we never suffocate the other telling each other what we can and can’t do. And we work as a team and never ask more of the other than we wouldn’t do ourself. But then life throws a monkey wrench and you find out if you will have one year or five years left with them. But we are more friends than husband and wife but been married 37 years come January and we were married on January Friday the 13th lol. As for going and staying in hotels I’ll pass but a nice cabin out of the way is just as good and more peaceful. Next Halloween we are going back to lake Lincoln and he can fish and I can hike. But treasure the time you have because cancer is a ticking clock that runs out fast and there is no middle ground. Enjoy what you have and enjoy life together. We’ll be fishing the week of thanksgiving.Love seeing photos of the rocks and adventures but I’m not that adventurous for rock climbing I’d rather meet big foot himself lol. I’ll try to get some photos when we go camping again and post.If I could only get my wife to agree to camping; I could camp on a rock wall, she however would hate it, we are quite opposites. I have only myself to blame for it. Way way back in 1976 or was it 1977 (yes the last century) we decided to tour a few European countries (we both lived in London UK, where we first met). Anyways on a very wet summer evening when we arrived at the camping grounds at the shores of Lake Constance Switzerland and made her settle down in a tiny 6x6 two person tent. nothing like great tents we have today; she was miserable and it probably killed my camping with her desires for the rest of our lives. Now I'm stuck with staying in hotels and lodges etc.
