No...is not Folgers in your cup, but that first cup of morning coffee is one of life's simple pleasures....

The best part of waking up.....is being stream side in your Concourse and literally stepping out onto the bank of river instead of waking up in cheap hotel in the middle of nowhere only to need to still drive a ways to mountain streams.

Here is pic out side window in Jefferson National Forest in VA, where I spent two days chasing Browns and Brookies....first pic is brown caught on big articulated streamer, while small fish is beautiful native brookie caught on size 18 elk hair caddis in a small mountain stream with 3wt glass rod.

Very nice :)

I often have people ask me if camping with my RV is cheaper than just getting a hotel. When I add up the purchase price, maintenance costs, storage, gas, camping fees, etc... nope. But I get to wake up in the woods instead of in town, and still have a real bed, so it's soooo worth it :D

I agree, a RV isn’t cost effective compared to hotel unless you lived or almost lived on road. However, the convenience it affords is priceless.....as Sman says above, having a bathroom is so nice, aside from bathroom a/c was big reason I went small RV route versus other options.
