My parents had a very used PUP when I was growing up. The only "roughing" it was done at Lake Martin, 45 mins from our house. Fast forward, before marriage, I had an GA state park map and would literally throw a dart Fri after work. Wherever it hit, I camped in a tent with my dogs that weekend. Did that for several years. Ever seen a Yorkie chase a black bear 8 miles deep in the woods? FF again, we started my kids in a tent in our backyard, then to Cheaha SP in Alabama. After a particularly rainy weekend, the DW said no more tents. I bought a 93 Skamper PUP (what my kids named "minion") for $500 cash and we used it for a yr and sold it for 4x our initial investment. I love camping with my family, but miss my "dart days."
