All I can say is that I absolutely love spring. I just recently got back from an extremely enjoyable camping and fishing trip with my family. The good fellowship around the campfire and being surround by wonderful creation stirred the soul and recharged all of our batteries.
Don't get me wrong camping is hard work especially if your using a tent. However it makes you truly appreciate the simple things in life. When done without a fancy RV or Pop-up it reminds you that all your really need in life is a place to lay down. Something to eat and drink and a way to bathe and clean yourself up. It truly brings you back into touch with profound truths.
Modern conviences make life easier, but they don't necessarily bring true happiness. Me and my family had a great time. We caught a ton of fish. One night we had a old fashioned fish fry and the meal was absolutely delightful. The blue gill were biting so good you could have caught them on a bare hook. If you've never tasted panfish cooked southern style, then you need to! Our freezer is filled with the white flaky fish and I'm looking forward to having another two or three fried with some fresh squeezed lemon juice.
The lake itself was gorgeous with its crystal, clear, calm waters. Here in the southwest winds are usually a problem but not this trip. It was truly a delight. I'm already missing and yearning for another chance to go back. If you have the chance this spring or summer take your family camping or fishing. Get away from the hustle and bustle and get out into the wonderful outdoors.
