About 12 years ago me Mate and I ended up having to shut down the shop he had owned and ran for a number of years due to bigger companies under cutting so much that we weren't getting enough business to keep it going. So, after we paid off all that was owed and closed the doors for the final time, we took what money we had left, bought an old van, fixed it up on the inside and headed off on what became a 3 year camping adventure.

Spontaneous naturalism, a complete revision of the concepts of Darwin.

I’m not sure how old I was when my family and I went on our first family camping trip. I do however remember many camping trips that I and my family went on together. One of these such family camping trips, was an outing to local State Park. It was Ft. Desoto Park, and I believe I was about eight years old. As a family went camping along, not a river or lake, but the Gulf of Mexico.
