For the last 4 days I’ve been living with my husband, son, and daughter in a rustic cabin. Camping they call it.
Here are 5 things I learned:
1. Campers come in two classes: The Haves and The Have Nots.
The have nots are trying to scrimp on vacation costs, enjoy the outdoors, and try not to get eaten alive by insects…or get heat stroke. (That’s where you’ll find us.)
The haves perk out with things like air conditioning, satellite tv, shower/bath, running water, microwaves, and so on…and so on. I’ve decided that they’re sissies with money.
2. A 9 foot black snake can make a quick exit even with its head half lopped off. (The backstory is too long for this format. But, yes, I had a few nightmares.)
3. When you are camping eating Ice Cream 2-3 times per day seems normal, if not obligatory.
4. A shower at the camp washhouse leaves you feeling wonderfully fresh and clean! …for 49 seconds, no make that 4 to 9 seconds.
5. People who camp with dogs and loud people should be sequestered to their own camping island…about ten miles away. Downwind. And Downstream.
What have YOU learned through camping?
