Dad was an Army Air Corp veteran of WWII. His plane was shot down over Germany and he had to parachute out. Then, after a forced march, he was held in a POW camp. As such, Dad felt that he should raise his kids to be prepared for any hardships that may come their way.
For many young families of my generation, camping was an economical way to take the family to vacation spots. In our case camping was the vacation, and any sights seen along the way were purely secondary. The whole point in Dad's eyes was to live in a tent, cook over an open fire, and deal with any challenges the out doors might offer. Here are a few of the family camping stories I remember.
Things I remember growing up in the Herb and Doris Bartels family.
