Is it me or his writing is not that good?

Never posted anything on these types of threads before. I made a bit of a half-assed philosophical piece while sober and gradually progressing into a drug fueled psychosis during a camping trip this year. Here is the first section of my writings, originally penned on a cue card and then typed out:
> As with all camping trips, the eventual question of where one may camp gets brought into question. Being in the outskirts of a hamlet on the banks of North Saskatchewan, our spots were all close to the waterfront.
> Last year, we decided to camp in a beautiful green clearing that – albeit neighbors and trash – was a pleasure to camp in. This time, on the other hand, “we” (And by “we”, I mean the two branches of the family with any sort of damn wealth) chose an ugly, thin strip of land that although accommodating to RVs, lacked all of the wondrous aspects of last years spot – although said spot being a quick trip through the brush away.
> From this, I’ve deducted what makes a good camping spot: squareness, greenness, and treeness.
> First up is squarness. A 450’ squared space is better if it resembles a square than a rectangle. That size as a room is luxorious, but as a hallway? It’s fucking apartment-tier shit. Camping spots ought to be like rooms, not hallways.
> Then there’s greenness. The beige sand that coats the southern edge of our site is the main factor in the worsening of the site. Our old site is lush greens; now green is not a common color in urban construction. If the site is beige, you might as well be homeless.
> Finally is treeness. Although a site with too many trees isn’t a site at all, not enough trees comes back to the aspect of greenness wherein a beige site is just like being homeless. This aspect, where a tree or two should decorate space otherwise walked by campers, makes the camper know he’s not in a city. That feeling, anti-urbanism, is the central force of camping.

What's /lit/'s opinion on Hunter S. Thompson and Gonzo Journalism?

Would you consider him one of the coolest?

Hunter S. Thompson never went crazy. He was right about everything.
