No. 1 in an occasional series on Cyco Touring Philosophy

     Sometimes you wonder why some people are out "camping" and what camping has come to.  This isn't so much directed at the ever increasing number of RV's since it would be absurd to expect people to camp at the minimalist level that Joan and I do.  Rather it is exemplified by an RV we saw back in the mountains.  It was a perfect sunny afternoon of about 80* with a pleasant breeze blowing, a perfect afternoon for sitting under a live oak and reading.  Not for these RV'ers.  They never came out and the TV was blaring over the hum of the A/C.  Why leave your urban abode if that what you are going to do?
     Is this camping?  In the 21st century it apparently is.
