I don't go camping that often, not because I don't Love camping!! it is  just really difficult for me to get out the door... But a little while ago I did it with a couple of friends. It was so amazing to be in the in the mountains, my favorite part is (who would have guessed) Cooking with your friends in the Mountains!!
