[RC] camping and generators - Alice Yovich

My daughter and some other kids had a time like this at a recent NATRC ride.
I"m not so sure that the other competitors and families very put out with
our muddy, creek bound children, but they had a blast.

After reading about it here, I got that book Last child in the woods and I
so agree with many of the things in it. I'm appalled that kids are reined in
so much...my daughter has so much homework she doesn't have time to play if
there were a good place to do it. It's enough to drive me back to
homeschooling!

When my kids went to rides they ran around with other kids, played in
creeks, caught "pet salamanders", had syringe water fights, and played
glow-stick football. I see people show up now with plump little pink
urchins who slowly walk from their heated campers complete with satellite
TV, to the meal never taking their eyes off their Gameboys, then without
speaking to anyone go back into their cocoons never to be seen again.
It's a cryin' shame.
