Which Sleeper are You?
Friday June 20, 2008
I enjoy sleeping at the campground, because it is away from the noise and distractions of daily life. And since there is no computer, TV, telephone or refrigerator, what else is there to do at night? I am usually early to bed and early to rise. However, there are days when I hike too far, or fish too hard, or stay up too late around the campfire that I find myself sleeping well past sunrise.
When you camp, do you rise at day break, or do you like to sleep in?
1.) I rise at day break
2.) I like to sleep in
3.) It depends on what I did the day before

I enjoy getting up at sunrise to search for golden lighting to photograph interesting scenery. Usually it is less windy and before others are out and about.
Two days ago I photographed the full moon setting behind Carson Peak with June Lake in the foreground.
I also photographed the moonset at nearby Mono Lake’s tuffa formations just before sunrise last year.
By sundown I’m ready to relax and edit photos on a laptop and dream of tomorrow morning’s adventures.
It’s about 5:45 AM I love to get up just before the sun, get my fire going, sip on my cup of coffee, watch the sun rise, listen to the sounds of morning. Ahh camping that’s what it’s all about. Next trip July 4th weekend 3 days, can’t wait.
There something about camping that never made me want to “sleep-in”. Even if I wanted to now, it is impossible with a toddler in your tent
The earlier I’m up the better. I like to do the campstove coffee thing, too. I also sit back in my chair and experience the peacefulness of it all. There must be a bunch of us doing this while everybody else is asleep!
