November 2023 Photo Challenge

[GOUSC]

Thanks to Mount’n Man for selecting the theme for October and Steve for assisting in the selection of my photo as the winner for October. I’m humbled. Now comes the hard part.

November is the month of Thanksgiving. With that as a background, it reminded me how thankful I am for my travel partner for camping adventures. For this month, post up pictures of your camping partner / buddy and pictures of camping activities the two of you share. In addition, add a note as to why you are thankful for your partner. The Airstream does not have to be in the picture. The winner will be judged on the story as well as the picture. You may want to get permission to post any pictures of your camping buddy ahead of time to make sure they stay your camping buddy!

I also understand your camping buddy may have 4 legs instead of 2 so pictures of pets qualify as well. We have a short month so let’s get started.

My camping buddy is my wife of 42 years and best friend for 44, Karin. I’m thankful first of all that she likes to camp and explore new adventures. She shares in the driving, has a great sense of direction and can find a campsite for us at the last minute. I don’t trust anyone but her with a walkie talkie in their hand to assist me into backing into a camp spot. We enjoy hiking, biking, campfires and happy hour and the end of the day. She’s happy to just pick up and go at the spur of the moment with no reservation or go with full blown reservations. It doesn’t matter as long as we go somewhere. She’s the mother of our 2 children and we have 2 grandchildren we hope to get into the adventures of camping.

Ditto Jim's post. Mine is my wife, Debbie, who can really pack a camper so nothing moves, navigate me better than google (I have a poor sense of direction), and share the towing. We bought our 2006 Safari in 2017 for our 30th anniversary. It is our first travel trailer and we love it. Especially useful during COVID. We always had our home away from home right behind us when we travelled.

What a sweet topic. These arent going to win any awards for photog skills, but here goes…
My camping buddy is my DH Ed. We used to travel. Til anxieties took over. I bought the AS last year thinking it would be therapeutic… A comfortable, safe way to get out again. I think its working. A little. Lol. Its a long road!! But we are doing it together and it has certainly brought us closer. Our BRN are an homage to our mothers born 1944 and 1957. Mine had severe anxiety disorder and has sent signs of support from the great beyond. Guess you can say they are our camping buddies too!

These last two posts are exactly what I was looking for with this months challenge. The pictures are good but the story brings the pictures to life and provide context.

Thanksgiving is close - keep them coming!
