I noticed there wasn't a thread for nature lovers here. I thought I might as well start one.

Basically the nature lovers thread is for those of you who have been on camping trips, road trips, etc. The wildlife you've seen the natural parks you've been to. Anything related to nature and wildlife.

So let's start with a few basic questions:

You know I started this thread and I never answered my questions. I figure I might as well.

Name (User name is fine): Ron [it is a girl's name]

What got you interested in nature/wildlife: My parents started taking me camping when I was 2 years old.

How long have you had a world of nature/wildlife: 17 years

Other info: Growing up with camping as a lifetime experience, I've just always loved the outdoors. Whether it be the simple campgrounds of home or other places. I've seen bears, whales (grey and orca), jelly-fish, elk, big horn sheep, bald eagles. It's been an incredible life to live. Went up to Canada a few times which was awesome. We saw 8 bears while up there; one grizzly and the rest black bears. It's hard to count the number of places I've been to since there are so many

Currently I am a major in Wildlife Sciences. I can't give up this life so I might as well get a job where nature and wildlife are apart of it.

Thanks I just wish this thread would pick up more.

Tina

Yeah, I know what you mean.

What's everyone favorite campground?

My would have to be in Maryland - Holiday Park.

Ron_Beckett

There are a couple of places in New Mexico I like to visit. One of them is a vast desert land and the other is surrounded in forest. Both great places.

Tina

Sounds very interesting.
Have you visited any campgrounds?

What's your favorite thing about camping?

Ron_Beckett

Countless campgrounds .

My favorite thing about camping: definately a good source to get away from life. Life is full of turmoil and issues that it's good to just step back and get out of it for a while. Plus it's also a good way to retreat yourself from people too. It allows me to re-evaluate things and see the beauty that God created. For so much of the time our lives are on the fast track that we fail to stop and see the good things we've been given as far as scenary wise. It's times like those that I know God is real and then my life and my thoughts are put into perspective.

Tina

I totally agree with you, Ron. It's an awesome feeling, too!
