I have a Meetup group that I camp with fairly often. We also hike and kayak. Nice bunch of people, most of us are single.
While we are camping someone always brings some unique liquor to sample. Our current fave is butter pecan moonshine someone picked up while camping in the Smoky Mtns.
We are camping again in two weeks...aware that it may be cold. Most campers will go kayaking but I tore something in my shoulder so I can only hike. Plenty of places to hike. Group of 10-15.
What activities would you plan for hanging around the campsite after hiking/kayaking and before drinking starts?
If you are drinking moonshine from the Appalachians such as butter pecan moonshine; just go all the way and make some Purple Passions with grape Welche's grapeade and white lightening or get it over with faster and use formaldehyde instead of white lightening.
there are many things I enjoy doing, but my absolute favorite is - nothing at all. Just sit in my chair and watch the sky. After a lifetime of being busy, well....
When my whole family gets together, we play a game. I'm not sure what it's called, but you just need a piece of lined paper, and a pencil or pen.
1. On the back of the paper, write your name or initials.
2. Everyone writes a sentence, or a partial sentence. When done, pass it once, to your left.
3. When everyone gets their neighbor's piece of paper, read the sentence, and then add a sentence.
4. After adding the sentence, fold the paper so that you only see YOUR sentence, and then pass it to the left again.
5. Continue to do this (always only seeing one sentence at a time) until you get your own sheet of paper back.
6. When everyone gets their own sheet of paper back, everyone take turns reading the stories out loud.
Look into the night sky for shooting stars......look for objects you perceive might be UFO's...
Look into the fire with visions in your head...
Take photos of beautiful scenery. During the day go exploring different areas.
Food would be a good thing before the moonshine - butter pecan sounds amazing! It seems like I spent so much time cooking and cleaning and minding kids, that I just wanted to finally fall into a camp chair and talk and not have to engage my mind in anything besides idle chatter or staring at nature.
I highly suggest hot dogs, even a vegan version if that's your preference, and buns, and sit around roasting weenies and toasting buns and making s'mores.
Ghost stories are always fun. Maybe a contest for the scariest ghost story.
We read, play board games, listen to music, nap, eat snacks, and sing songs/talk around the campfire.
