Kinky Travel, Last Post
I was rather surprised that I didn’t get very much comment on my previous two kinky travel posts. I thought that people might have strong opinions about the idea.
The second post in the series did get a long comment, and despite the rather angry seeming tone of that comment, I think that it contained a very valid point of view and concern.
Posting though has helped to refine my own thoughts on the idea, so I thought it appropriate to share a scenario I had in mind.
A nice weekend in June when the weather is wonderful in Eastern Washington.
A small group of RV’s meet in a campground outside of Walla Walla on Friday evening. Kids aren’t along for the trip, but the adults are all kids at heart, people who delight in joyful adult play.
A campfire is born; snacks and libations come out to pave the way for folks to get to know each other.
There is no structure to the event, people are free to do as they desire throughout the weekend. This is though Walla Walla, home to amazing Washington Wine. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, visiting wineries and tasting their wares. Maps to these wineries are given out, recommendations of course as well.
Wine is the small cities largest attraction, but certainly not it’s only one. A delightful shopping district beckons, and history abounds throughout the area.
The day done Saturday evening will likely find many of our campers sampling one of Walla Walla’s fine restaurants or another. Then back, back to that fire and the fellowship it provides. A sharing will likely occur, not only a sharing of the wonderful wines found that day, but also a sharing of hearts and emotions that can only occur when one is truly accepted. That acceptance promised for everyone shares a similar sexual outlook and level of interest. At this fire there need be no fear of prudes, no fear that others will be shocked.
Sunday, a departing day. A sad day perhaps, but if the job has done well, if the magic has flowed, perhaps a joyous day as well. Joyous because of the new friendships just starting to bud, because of the new understanding received through honest and open sharing with others.
That is, I think, a perfect example of what I have in mind.

I think the idea has alot of merit.
It has always been my experiance that folks seem to kind of let go , and just have fun when out and about like that. Perhaps it is the lack of distraction or whatever.
Myself one of the great joys i have are the nice fireside chats under the watchful stars above.
good luck

I like the idea of a kinky camp gathering but since I dont live in Washington I did not comment...but the idea is great and I'd definitely go to one if I could...

I would have commented, but I did not have a real contribution. I just want to say that the whole "kinky travel" idea intrigues me, but I doubt that I would have the balls to participate. Maybe if I had no choice about it I would. But that would take someone as brave as you to force me, and my dear wife is not quite that committed to D/S. Strangely, she leaves it up to me, the one who is supposed to be the submissive partner. Oh well...

Milliscent;
The idea is great, living in the Salem area we have what are called Munches. We get together once or twice a month and have lunch and just chat, sometimes a demonstration of something on the BDSM. but we chat about all things. I can see this carried through to a camping trip, and it would be great. Weather BDSM or vanilla or sexual.

rebecca,
Ah yes, sharing with friends around a fire, under the stars, one of life's most perfect joys.

bdenied,
I am pleased that you commented. I didn't view it as limited to Washington, certainly our nation is filled with wonderful places to visit!

Susan's pet,
I don't think you are alone with the apprehension you mention.
Certainly I remember a good deal of nervousness the first time I attended a kinky event.
Once there I discovered that people are very welcoming at such things.

Mistress Milliscent: What a lovely idea! I attended Camp Crucible last year. I'm not much for large affairs. However, I had a fantastic time. I loved the venue and the spirit of community. A caravan holiday as you describe would be such fun. Exploring by day and delightful naughty nights by the fire. I think of it as something beautiful.. liberating..and blissful.

Amy,
I am pleased that you like the idea. Due to the positive response I've received, I am considering putting something together next year.
