Under the Milky Way tonight

I just took a quick walk outside, and I had the feeling come over me that it would be great to sleep outside tonight. I haven't been camping in 10 years, and toyed with the idea of going out somewhere this summer. All you hear are the crickets chirping, the odd rustling of leaves and the stillness of the night. You'd look up and see nothing but stars, and the odd blinking lights of an airplane (though tonight, it's all clouds). I miss being out, hiking, cooking, sleeping in a tent. Or maybe I miss the days when I was a kid.
