Come on guys. If you're going to do camping then ya got to do real camping.
Head to Mount Robson in BC.
The hike in is an easy 20k, up about 5,000 feet. You get to go over cool bridges, up some almost cliff-like paths.
Then you get to Berg Lake, one of the most incredible places in the world. It makes the sweat and effort all worthwhile. I mean look at this pic. It's friggin gorgeous.

Either that or rent a cottage on a lake with a dock and power boat for water skiing.

You can use the term "bridled".

We could meet at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas.
All the Canadian's should like it.
Named after a French girl that died there.

Arkansas. Eh. I've been there - went to Hot Springs. Decent place, but no urge to go back.
Well, maybe to the mountains.

No, you can misuse the term "bridled." Bridled means restrained. It has nothing to do with taking umbrage to something.

NE Minnesota is also on the Lauretanian shield. 250ft tall white pine ( Pinus strobus) over 2 billion year old rock; an awsome combination. we can also do some canoeing, or FISHING.

If they aren't at least 10,000 feet tall then they aren't worth seeing.

Yeah, definitely early morning fishing. It's a great cure for a hangover. Just get in the boat, relax, and if you catch some lake trout, man does it taste fine when fried up in some butter over a campfire.

Camping is fun. Camping with random strangers is weird.

I was born in Abilene, Texas. Lived in Texas all my life.
Except for time spent in the circus.

Camping- when you go out into the woods, hike, sleep in a tent, and enjoy nature,

Obviously a man who doesn't want to walk his ass to death to get to the camp site, only to fall off in the middle of the night.

May I ask what meaning of the word "camping" is meant in this thread?
