- 33:10Okay.
- 33:11Like
- 33:11community.
- 33:12And
- 33:12that
- 33:12was
- 33:13the
- 33:13only
- 33:13time
- 33:13I
- 33:14have
- 33:14three
- 33:14years
- 33:14that
- 33:14I
- 33:15ever
- 33:15went
- 33:15to
- 33:15a
- 33:15campground
- 33:16where
- 33:16there
- 33:16was
- 33:16a
- 33:16community
- 33:17or
- 33:17an
- 33:17event
- 33:18to
- 33:18bring
- 33:18people
- 33:18together.
- 33:20It's
- 33:20crazy
- 33:20because
- 33:21you
- 33:21think
- 33:21that
- 33:21you
- 33:21talk
- 33:22to
- 33:22people

- 33:23lot
- 33:23of
- 33:23people
- 33:23keep
- 33:23to
- 33:24themselves.
- 33:24So
- 33:25I
- 33:25would
- 33:25definitely
- 33:26say
- 33:26a
- 33:27place
- 33:27to
- 33:27work
- 33:27out
- 33:28is
- 33:28great.
- 33:28For
- 33:29sure
- 33:29laundry.
- 33:30And
- 33:30then
- 33:30what
- 33:30unique
- 33:31experiences
- 33:31can
- 33:32you
- 33:32create
- 33:32at
- 33:32your
- 33:32campground?
- 33:33Whether
- 33:33it's
- 33:33like
- 33:33a
- 33:34local
- 33:34beer
- 33:34tasting
- 33:35to
- 33:35bring
- 33:35people
- 33:36together,
- 33:36can
- 33:37you
- 33:37do
- 33:37a
- 33:37potluck?
- 33:38Those
- 33:38are
- 33:38things
- 33:39that
- 33:39I
- 33:39definitely
- 33:40liked.
- 33:41And
- 33:41then
- 33:42also
- 33:43other
- 33:43things
- 33:44that
- 33:44we
- 33:44would
- 33:44keep
- 33:44in
- 33:45mind
- 33:45is
- 33:45what
- 33:45type
- 33:46of
- 33:46activities
- 33:46were
- 33:47around
- 33:47there.
- 33:48So
- 33:49if
- 33:49a
- 33:49campground
- 33:49could
- 33:50really
- 33:50do
- 33:50a
- 33:50good
- 33:51job
- 33:51talking
- 33:51about,
- 33:52what's
- 33:53like
- 33:53fun
- 33:53to
- 33:54do
- 33:54local,
- 33:55like
- 33:55we
- 33:55would
- 33:56go
- 33:56to
- 33:56a
- 33:57tamper.
- 33:58But
- 33:58then
- 33:58most
- 33:58of
- 33:59our
- 33:59time
- 33:59would
- 33:59be
- 33:59spent
- 34:00exploring,
- 34:00going
- 34:01to
- 34:01coffee
- 34:01shops,
- 34:02going
- 34:02to
- 34:02museums
- 34:03experiencing
- 34:04the
- 34:04study.
- 34:05So
- 34:06those
- 34:06are
- 34:06the
- 34:06biggest
- 34:07components
