We had one for a few years but stored in on the roof of the motorhome in the brackets.
Great fun, but we finally sold it and bought kayaks for everyone instead.

Photography, hiking, and exploring in the TV. Hanging out at camp. We rarely use RV parks, mostly forest campgrounds.

Weather permitting we start most days with a kayak run before breakfast. Love getting out on the calm water before things start getting busy around the campsite. And with late teens along, they aren't interested in breakfast until mid-morning.

We usually have our bikes along and ride a fair bit. Hiking is great as well. In quieter times I like to read, sudoku, and nap. The girls always have a ton of craft stuff along (to the point that about 1/3 of the interior TT storage is filled with it) and spend afternoons gathered around the camp table getting creative.

One site we had last summer in the Adirondacks had a nice shallow private beach. Put my chair out in about 6" of water, with the sun shining down, toes in the water, and a cold beer in my hand. Absolute heaven!

Building campfires and watching them burn. Playing cards, watching Mother Nature, fishing, Hiking/walking the dog and geocaching.

We enjoy hiking, fishing, golfing [I'm still a 4 hdcp] and stargazing with my 80mm Orion tabletop refractor, that is if I'm sober enough to use it.

I always thought I was weird because I can spend hours just gazing into nature. Whether it's watching all the little critters go about their day, or watching the waves lap on the shore of the beach, or gazing at the mountains with a pair of binoculars in hand, or watching the embers dance and glow in a fire with a beer in hand as the day goes to sleep. DW says I'm a weirdo, she thinks it's terribly boring. I guess that's why I like hunting so much; I could spend an entire day just watching nature and be perfectly content. Then I could get up in the wee hours of the morning the next day and do it all over again. And I absolutely LOVE catching the sunrise over a quiet camp. There's just nothing like it IMO.

Is drinking beer a hobby or activity?

That depends on whether you count by bottle, 6-pack, or case.

Definitely a hobby if you brew your own.

We kayak, walk, bike ride, sit and read, walk dogs and go riding in the truck when in scenic areas.

Always have a fire when possible but we like to have ours early because we retire early.

I have 4 kegs in my basement, part of my rotating 'collection' (home brewer). Definitely a hobby and an activity both.

I love to fish off Cape Cod. My buddy has a 28' Carolina Classic. We frequently go 100 miles offshore, south of MV. We also go north of P-town to stellwagen bank.. We go for, and have caught, Tuna (bluefin,yellowfin, bigeye), Wahoo, Mahi, Marlin. Closer to shore we target black sea bass, striped bass, haddock, fluke. Otherwise, I enjoy hitting the beaches of Orleans, Chatham and Brewster during my Cape Cod summer camping.

With camping it's been hiking and mtn biking/eating and libations and keeping the new pup under control. Now getting into 1/10 RC short course trucks. Fun to have one around to bash at the campsite, but building a racer for the track soon.

We are very boring campers. Usually, our trips are just intended to get away from our busy schedules from the week. So, we spend a lot of time just sitting around in the quiet if we are boondocking, reading a book, or just taking a nap.

When we travel to a destination, it is usually history focused. My oldest daughter and I are both huge US history buffs. So, we often end up somewhere where we can tour a historical site, battlefield, etc.

I would add stargazing, a little fishing and considerable amount of tree supervision.

Poking at a campfire with a stick is one of life's great satisfactions.

I like your style. Unfortunately, fishing induces sleep for me. So, unless one of my kids are with me, I'll lose my pole in the water.
