So yet another camping trip although this time I went with real live people (kind of rare). For the first time ever i went with my sister, bro-in-law, their 2 kids (pictured above) as well as Lauren and her bf. I must admit, despite the fact it was alot more work, it was a blast. I got to show off my cooking skills while Dan (my bro-in law) was very much at home. This guy was in the navy back in the day and when he got out he took a year or more to travel the country hiking, camping, working jobs you see on tv like crab boats, logging etc. He is an Eagle Scout as is his son and they both fit right at home. While fishing did not pan out the way one hopes, I did manage to catch a couple walleye.
The first night was I have to say the loudest night in terms of animals fighting etc I have personally ever witnessed (have you ever heard raccoons that were really pissed off) or coyotes that really had something to say? .. dam, at one point I thought there were vultures flying around out there.. but I slept good despite the chatter. This time no winds, tornadoes or major storms to speak of. After we packed up, it did start to down pour.. so we missed the rain. Once again my travel plans will change as my daughters place of employment cut her hours down to 1 day a week.... this means money I have earmarked for travel is now going towards her college ...... but hey, at least I am working so all is not bad.. lol life..its about change eh?
hey sexy, its good to hear that ur not taking these trips on ur own. U might be comfortable going on ur own but their r some of us in the city that do worry that u will be safe. Can't wait to hear more tales.
