I will however say, I go on hikes that are multiple day and I camp. Does that mean I cant afford a "real vacation"? lol
Also Ill be doing a through hike on the appalachain trail not this spring but next spring. Thats 2300 miles long and takes 5-6 months, I'll be camping ... is that the same thing? :-p
I just like to get away from people for awhile sometimes. I enjoy the mountain regions and forests, the beauty that some areas have are indescribable and can create such a strong sense of uphoria you that you wont get other places. Atleast for me...

lol... its just the feeling of oneness for me. Feeling at ease with the earth and my surroundings. But again, I never do those weekend camping trips with cases of beer and stuff. I do it for the adventure and I'm ususally going somewhere (like a hike).

no beer but a close bud that won't tell anyone if he wakes up and his butt hurts!
