Iowa

Recently went camping in Iowa with Phil Anzelmo (star of "The Family Tie"), his girlfriend Staisey and their friends Ben, Jodie, and Cary. It was, undoubtedly, one of the nicest camping experiences I ever had: we had an area right along the Maquoketa river all to ourselves. Granted, we had to dig a hole in the ground when we had to shit and there wasn't any running water, but fortunately everyone came prepared as they had a shovel and many a bottle of water. This was a far cry from the camping getaways typical of New Yorkers heading up to the Catskills or Poconos for the weekend with their screaming children and bad music: this was the real deal, a true slice of heaven on earth.

I've posted a handful of pictures on my Flickr which also details some of the activities from the trip.
