With the advent of the iPhone and other “app” enabled smart phones, more and more people can surf the web and from their phone. I have a few friends who “go camping”. More and more of them though they said they were camping were in fact connected to the internet. Chatting away online with people. Now I have nothing against you bringing your cell with you camping. You never know when an emergency will require someone to call an ambulance, or the fire department. I don’t even really have a problem with you using it as a camera and posting photos online so people can watch see what you’re doing. It’s almost like being there with you. What I don’t understand is the necessity to be online. Sit by the fire, make some smores? Take out your camera go find some wildlife to photograph, go to the beach an relax in the sun, but for crying out loud stop posting to Facebook, twitter and the lot. Camping is suppose to be a time where you disconnect from the digital world not connect even more!!!

I really want to go camping….
