Ah yes, car camping in a park with groomed sites and showers is
several levels of comfort over wilderness backpacking. Roslind and I
still do that on occasion if the trip budget precludes motels.

Yeah, I did my share of winter camping under canvas but it was work
related, with bonus pay, not recreation.... like proving (surveying)
mining claims in Labrador at -40 F or, just as bad, later in the
spring with lots of mud and hordes of mosquitos thick as fog but ice
still floating in the centre of the lake so bathing was brutal.

You can see the source of my prejudice! [g]
