Camp
Zola and More Camping Info
|
This page is dedicated to Rolf Gruendig
who lost his fight with cancer. Not only was Rolf a Zola Pleasure
Palace user and fellow camper, but he was also a good friend.
And now sadly to report, we have lost another close friend and
fellow camper "Munchkin",
Sandi Niles.
"Kiddos", I hope you have found that great camping site
in the cosmos.
Please save us all a spot.
You will be both be dearly missed.

Every year a group of us
head to our annual Camp Zola. We go to a popular camping site where
I reserve the group camp area. It is a great way to celebrate another
year with all my friends. Having the place to ourselves allows everyone
a chance to interact person to person instead of modem to modem.

The space
does require a small hike from the car, but once there it is well
worth it. First time campers are pleased to find the bathroom facilities
complete with flushable toilets and solar heated showers. There
is electricity for those who can't leave home without their curling
irons.

The food
always taste better to me when outdoors. There is nothing like the
smell of a camp fire to taint your clothes. And when I have such
a nice group of friends to celebrate with, what more could I ask
for.
|
There are
a few hard core campers who get together many more times during
the year to camp. We have made trips to Camp Piru, Camp Arrowhead,
Camp Angeles Crest and even Camp Ojai, just to name a few.

Everyone
knows I must capture that "Kodak Moment" of our special
events at any cost. I have a camera with me wherever I go. My 25
years in photography might have something to do with that. Sometimes
I think my friends may get tired of hearing me say "smile".
After the photos are developed, even the toughest of smilers enjoys
their pictures. Below are just a very few pictures of some of our
gang.
