Camping over a holiday weekend offers safe, simple joys
A columnist urges Americans to skip highway mayhem and embrace a peaceful river camping trip. Pack a tent, bacon and eggs, beans, fishing gear, water, first aid, mosquito repellent, and a knife. Campfires should be fully out when left, and avoid fire hazards. Include aluminum foil and a bacon wrapped fish steam for easy meals. Weather and insects noted, plan for rain and ground drainage.
