Car Camping! Well THAT was FUN!!!

Today’s short-story… (I just joined a car-camping private Facebook group. They told me to introduce myself with a photo. Ummm ok…

Hi, I loved the idea about car camping when I heard about it 10 years or so ago. I bought an old van, took all the seats out, bought every gadget they have and pretty much stopped there. Well, THAT WAS fun!!! As for actually CAMPING in my van??? Uhhh, NOPE. I was too much of a scaredy cat. What if a policeman knocked on my window while I was asleep? What if bad guys decided to hurt me? Nope!!! So THEN I got my 2nd bright idea! I’d BUY my OWN little piece of land where I was ALLOWED to park my van and camp in it. So I happily spent the next five years doing THAT. It’s been a blast! Have I actually CAMPED in my van on my own off-grid land I bought for under 10k? Well, no, but I bought a pretty little blue shed and had it delivered to my land (in another state 600 miles from where I live). THAT was FUN!!! But the beautiful forested land was way too dense with trees and weeds to park on. So I happily spent a couple more years hiring locals online who would go clear bits of my land for me and send me pictures. THAT was FUN!!! So THEN did I go camp in my van on my own land or sleep in my pretty little blue shed? Well, noooo. But I write stories and now I have an entire book written about my fun adventure! No policeman has ever knocked on my window. No bad guys have ever tried to hurt me while I was asleep. I have a lovely van I named “Swan” and all the cool gadgets AND I just finished writing my book “Angel Creek” about my fun adventure. And it WAS fun! I had a blast! There’s just one tiny detail I left out. My off-grid beautiful little piece of forest came with its own set of surprises. I might scare the group too much if I told you THOSE stories. They might not let me in. Hummmm… ok, well my website is on my profile page and all my stories are there. Or just go read my Facebook page. I’ll give you a hint… uhhh better not. Glad to be here! Hope to gain some courage from you brave people. xo Angel
