I absolutely love this time of year!!

I don’t know so much about the rest of the country and world but here in New Jersey it’s quickly turning from summer to fall. Which means that the daytime is sunny and warm with a hi in the low 80′s. At night, well the nights are perfect! The nights here in NJ get down into the mid-60′s which is absolutely perfect campfire and sleeping weather.

No more hot and muggy nights! YEAH!

In the summertime I look forward to this weather and in wintertime I look foward to similar weather in the spring. New Jersey may have it’s faults but during those two magical times of year there is nowhere in the world that I would rather be!

Where else can you go and pitch a tent or anchor a trailer, sit around a campfire enjoying good company, warm cocoa (or your favorite adult beverage) and go to sleep in a nice warm sleeping bag snuggling up next to your significant other. Wake up to a clearp and crisp morning and day a relatively short journey to a beach, a river, a mountain, a museum, a major metropolis or just sit around the pool at the campgrounds.

By now, alot of you are probably wondering if I camp exclusively in New Jersey based on what I have been writing about, the answer is no. I camp all over the eastern seaboard and will eventually write about some of those experiences. But I prefer camping in New Jersey. For every trip I take out of state I usually take two or three in state. I just love it here and think that it can be one of the most beautiful states in the country so why leave?!
