Gail’s campsite at Wolf Creek near Livingston
My sister Gail is really getting into this solo camping thing! She is finding her trips alone to be very therapeutic. It seems to be adding a nice balance that improves every aspect of her life.
There are steps down to the water with a white sandy bottom that is perfect for swimming.
She plans to go camping every other weekend. But since she also really enjoys having hubby along, they have a deal. He gets to go with her every other trip! 😀
He is taking vacation next week, so they plan a longer trip up to visit their new grand baby. They plan to camp a couple of days going up there, visit the kids, then reserve another few days for themselves on the way back home.

She says her new independence spices up their marriage, too! Who’d a thunk running away from home could provide so many benefits!

/ August 29, 2012As a married solo camper, I just have to put in my 2 cents! I have always maintained that time apart can be crucial in a marriage–how better to appreciate what you have than to be without it for a short spell? It’s like pressing a giant red Reset button! Our marriage has been going strong for 40 years so far, so it works for us! I hope Gail continues to enjoy her solo times.

/ August 29, 2012Beautiful camping pictures! Since buying our camper/van we have yet to make our first run.. My wife and I are both recently retired and are hoping the cooler weather comes soon! We run with a crowd during camping season, so solo camping for us would just be the two of us.. I like that idea, too. Going to Michigan in two weeks to stay with friends at their “up north” retreat. Probably doesn’t count as camping, but it is in the back 40.

/ August 30, 2012I love solo camping and can’t wait to get on it again. I have not seen a van like that anywhere. But I know I will find something that will work.

/ August 31, 2012It is inspiring to me to hear about women traveling, very happily, alone. I am blessed to have a husband that shares my dreams but it is comforting to know it’s possible as a single.
Solitude, at times, is a wonderful thing!

/ August 31, 2012Lynne, I much prefer camping with Ron because it’s so much more fun to have someone to do things with. But I think I’d also love a weekend by myself every once in a blue moon. 🙂
