A long time ago, I decided to take a college buddy on a relatively short backpacking trip. The trail was about six miles, the first mile of which ascended about 1500 feet. A little steep, but short, and all flat after that. He bought a new backpack, a new sleeping bag, a new rain parka, and last, but certainly not least, new boots. I told him to buy them long before the trip and wear them for at least two weeks. Alas, he did not. When we were about half way up the ascent (about 1 1/2 miles into the trip) he began to puke. So, surprisingly, it wasn't the hiking boots that broke it all apart, although I'm sure they would have, had we continued. We camped right there, and came out the next day. So much for all those trout in the lake and stream next to Mount Kennedy! Don't recall where we went from there, but the trip was much shorter than originally intended. Funny stuff, Rebecca.

I'm sure I'll get to that in the near future. Clif, LOL love it. I need to add it to the list as well. I for one fall into line 3. Casually wave it away without a lot of fuss. Unless it's a skeeter or horse fly, then I aim to kill. Kirk, thats a whole ‘nother handbook! I’m sure I’ll get to that in the near future.

If a fly lands on your face are you prone to (choose all that apply):
– scream?
– swat hastily and flop in your seat?
– casually wave hand in front of face?
– let it crawl around, figuring it will leave when it’s good and ready?

You're right, it's not camping by the way I grew up, not even close. Basically, they should call it...outdoor hoteling it.

I'm so glad. Reading the comment below from Dan shows me I missed several more key questions, but I have a feeling you would still pass Mel. Someday I'll have to travel to your side of the state and break bread in the dirt with ya~ Yay, you passed! I’m so glad.

I know a couple who always go camping through the summer only. They have camping rules. 1. It must be a paved road all the way to the camp ground. 2. It must have a first class bathroom or use their motorhome's toilet. 3. There must be other people close bye. 4. Paved paths are preferred. 5. Showers are a must daily. No dirt in camp. 6. A store close by is always a plus. SORRY THIS IS NOT CAMPING I hate to say it but it’s all true “the list”. I know a couple who always go camping through the summer only. They have camping rules.
