The Old Folks Home

Well, it was a true emergency. I waited as long as I could, then I got my headlamp and started out... in the opposite direction I should have been going in. By the time I ran into the guy swinging in his hammock in the tree I realized I was not in Kansas anymore, and remembered that not only were there bears, but there were cliffs and raging rivers and many other ways to die, so I reversed course, found the tents, went back into my tent in a bladder-about-to-explode-panic to find the regular flashlight I had in hopes that would better illuminate the right way to the latrine, when my panicked unzipping of my tent woke the beast next to me... who offered to take me potty. I was very grateful.

Sorry to laugh at your pain, but I find this hysterical! I'm one of those wimpy people who pitch a tent in the backyard, then sneak into the house in the middle of the night for a shower & a cozy sleep in my own bed.

@room onthebroom ...you're ahead of me because I don't even do that. The guys have tented and have Grandpas slide in truck camper so they go. I take the opportunity while they're gone...usually to set more eggs.


I have tented back in the day. If I get down now...there'll be no getting back up.
I look at it as self preservation.

Wow! That emoji looks just like me! We took a family picture out by the tent this year. A friend said that I looked a little psychotic in it. I told him it was lucky that it was a still shot. Had it been video, he would have seen my eyes spinning in different directions.

Boy if I had more space here I could tell some wild stories of camping.
We spent many years taking the kids on wkend and wk long tent camping trips in the mountains here. Camping with infants, toddlersand teens.
What a ride!lol

You're friend actually told you that? That hilarious!
You and I will get along just fine...since this is me the rest of the time.

Personally I hate the packing. That would be why I neither camp nor go on trips.

As the kids got older I was able to relinquish some of the packing to them and I just supervised.

See, now I like that! Both kids are male here...both the old one and the young one. SOMETHING would be forgotten for certain...and it would probably be something of mine.

NOT saying anything against the males here...I am speaking specifically of my own males.
