The kids are back in school, football in underway and there is a certain crispness to the morning air. Summer is over, but that does not mean we have to put away our camping gear for another year and ride out the winter in suburban solitude!
Camping is a year-round activity for us, due in part to the mild winter climate here in NorCal, but also because camping is just what our family does. We cannot stop being who we are, for six months of the year. For us, winter means beach camping, since our favorite Sierra camping spots are all above 7,000 feet and hopelessly buried in snow.
