PerryMK,

It is great to love the place where you live. I like to tour the property each day and look for raptors, wild horses, quail, doves, and rabbits. I have a campsite in the backyard and have hosted tent parties every winter for 30 years. Large canvas tents and tipis work best with a woodstove or a fire going. I will have company on Thanksgiving, where we traditionally cook outside in Dutch ovens, sometimes with buffalo the American meat. Some of the guests insist on staying in the wall tent at night.

Sometimes however, I need to "get off the property." It comes from years of travelling. There must be a continuum between homebodies and people like wandering daisy.
