I remember camping on the Blue Ridge parkway at Bear Den campground. If you needed something not offered in the camp store there was a little town at the bottom of the other side of the mountain and there was a Walmart….killed the experience.
I like using a GPS that tells you where all the places to eat are. Before this, we would be hungry while traveling and stop at the first place we saw. There was always something better a little ways down the road.
Native Laplanders used to say that they go home, if they’ve got lost. Now they all have navigators. They also have laptops and top laps in reindeer sleigh racing.

It took our ancestors a lot of work to develop houses, I hate to waste all that and go back to tents.

I remember before McDonald’s were everywhere and finding a place to eat could be a real “adventure”

His ancestors started in the Americas. Those that didn’t get done in by ancient climate change got eaten by the first humans to come over.
