The Definitive Guide to Couples Camping
Yes, my cabin is the one blasting “Let’s Get it On”
My partner and I have been doing long distance for over a year now, with him in Southern Washington and me in Central California. I had planned to move up this year, like I’ve been planning for the past three years. In fact, my dream in life is to live in a penthouse apartment with a view of Pike’s Place Market and the Puget Sound (I’m a simple person with simple needs, I guess). But as John Lennon said, “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans”, and some timely and strange intervention has lead me to a service year on the coast of California, thereby putting off my endgame plan for another year. I have to say, this works out well for me, because I am great at long distance. My partner, however, desires a little more.
For his 30th birthday, we originally planned to have a party with friends and family, which obviously didn’t happen due to Coronavirus. So, we decided the next best thing would be to meet at the halfway point for us and go camping (or I guess glamping) in Eureka, California. We got a tiny one-room cabin (practically a tent with solid walls) that had little more than a bed, but it was perfect for a couple that owns no camping supplies.
