First Camping Trip

In a comment made to my last blog my brother asked if I remembered a trip our family took to Georgia from Iowa back in the 50's. I think it was our first camping trip other than camp meeting. We took a small tent with us and set it up every night so some could stretch out to sleep, the rest slept in the car. There weren't VR campgrounds back then. We just stopped, sometimes by the side of the highway or sometimes in a city park. Mother and Dad cooked our meals on a little camp stove. We were going to Georgia to visit Richard who was in the army. We didn't have much money but nothing would stop us. It was a trip to remember and the one that put camping in my system!
