Camping -- Grafton, New Hampshire

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, and of the camping season in the Northeast.

What's in Grafton, New Hampshire? Not much, and that's the beauty of it.

Camping is a paradox. It takes some work, yet it's relaxing. It's devoid of modern luxuries, yet it's comfortable.

Camping simplifies life to the essential elements: food, drink, family, and oneness with nature.

A good campfire is perhaps the oldest form of prime time entertainment.

A weekend get away for the whole family for $100, and a good time was had by all.
