I am with you - I sure like the comforts of modern society; however, I don't mind an occasional camping trip though most of them have had something go wrong!T!ff@nyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247397485424468951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1139293820662635002006-02-07T00:30:00.000-06:002006-02-07T00:30:00.000-06:00I love to camp and rough it!

And I don...I can sleep under the stars on my patio. And I don't have to pee on my left foot while enjoying it. Yes, for some reason it's MY left foot. <BR/>I went camping once. In Alaska. Now if you know anything about Alaska you KNOW you don't go camping during 'break up'. It's wet. And I mean WET. Sleeping in the back of a station wagon with four children who are cold, wet, tired and hungry, is NOT my idea of fun. And we won't even talk about the peeing situation.<BR/>If I get a wild hair up my butt and want to rough it, I'll meet you at the Motel 6 on that deserted stretch of the interstate. Hopefully there will be a Denny's nearby!wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336145117656216652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1139263504098454902006-02-06T16:05:00.000-06:002006-02-06T16:05:00.000-06:00I hear ya.

As romantic a notion it is to sleep under the stars, wake up to the smell of bacon sizzling in a cast iron pan over a crackling campfire, it amounts to a whole lot of inconvenience, really. I can successfully rough it for a maximum of 4 days before the ever-present fear of gnats crawling up my ass every time I have a piddle becomes insurmountable, and I can't wait to be safely in the warm embrace of civlization.<BR/><BR/>Nature: a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994750661725734469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1139261724177727752006-02-06T15:35:00.000-06:002006-02-06T15:35:00.000-06:00Sounds like Mary Lou has my kidnies (the size of a...Sounds like Mary Lou has my kidnies (the size of a pee)!

I can take the hard ground, and I can take the cold, but I am terrified of the dark, always have been. So I have to camp next to the pottie, cause I have to get up and pee about 30 times a night!!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118106177725242820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1139241488775395602006-02-06T09:58:00.000-06:002006-02-06T09:58:00.000-06:00What a huge undertaking that is -- good for her. ...What a huge undertaking that is -- good for her. Pretty cool that she'll be able to stand back and say "I built that". <BR/><BR/>I've never learned how to not soak my right shoe either, Brenda.

It's beyond me how it can be relaxing when there's twice the work getting food ready, cleaning up and keeping warm (or cool).
