Also wasn't helped by the drunken oaf who was 'dancing' with me at our dance evening and who picked me up and span me around and somehow pulled a muscle in my side- made sleeping really hard!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-89375771436990825202017-08-21T18:23:58.467-04:002017-08-21T18:23:58.467-04:00Good for you!

I look forward to seeing photos of your hiking adventures.<br />I've never been camping (or maybe when I was a child but can't remember), I'm more of a 'give me luxury hotel' kind of girl... I think my friends would die laughing if I even suggested going camping, or even glamping (they think I'm a city girl through and through and can't deal with countryside...).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822796974112289222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-15225025936351991752017-08-17T20:31:15.433-04:002017-08-17T20:31:15.433-04:00Good for you!

It wasn't very pleasant and we left early because I was so miserable hanging around with them aaaaall day. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if it was just me and husband and kids. In fact, we've been getting our camping gear together for the past two years to take a trip sometime soon. A family of four needs quite a lot of stuff!

...Campers will be kind to old guys on motorcycles.<br /><br />Many years ago (circa 1970) a buddy and I went on a road trip. All we had was an old tent and sleeping bags and a tiny car (his Opel GT). We were camping on the locks outside of Montreal. It rained like crazy and we watch those campers foolish enought to pitch their tents in low places float away.<br />Along came a biker on a 650 BMW. All he had was a sleeping bag. We squeezed him into our tent and the next day he let us both test his bike. it was a quick and interesting learning curve but I had a blast on his bike...the raw feeling of power and speed sitting under you can be intoxicating and exciting.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-4997328748748095852017-08-17T08:56:07.028-04:002017-08-17T08:56:07.028-04:00I'm not a fan of heat so camping next month wi...I'm not a fan of heat so camping next month will be perfect: in the sixties during the day and the fifties at night.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-83857338060063639822017-08-17T08:54:58.917-04:002017-08-17T08:54:58.917-04:00Asheville is on my list of places to visit!
