Nice to see you once more, Lady G! I think that's what most "wild" animals think of us after we enterprise into their territory with all method of camping tools. The two-legged creatures cannot be glad to bed down in a pile of leaves or a hollow tree like we do? Seriously now. NO, it isn't funny when your camping weekend is ruined by a hurricane-like storm and a flooded tent! I'm soooo with you on by no means going camping once more! Yes I feel it's over rated! I used to love going camping when I used to be in Girl Scouts a protracted, very long time in the past. We thought that it could be enjoyable to do it a couple of years ago. We even waited until it bought warm and went out on June 1. We got there and set up camp and after getting again from our days activities we snuggled in. It was NOT a great evening at all. They weren't calling for rain or anything like that. We must have had a hurricane go through.
The water in our tent was up to the highest of the blow up mattress. LOL Funny now, but it wasn't humorous then. No, camping isn't nice in a tent when it's 90 levels. It was ten or extra degrees above that, though, on the weekend that ruined me for camping eternally. When the youngsters and that i headed again to civilization, I realized from the radio it was actually 107. Yikes! Cute hub. I've camped just a few times. It is not pleasant in a tent when it's 90 levels out. Love the dry sense of humor! Sherri, the things we do for love! Now that you simply mention it, being with individuals whose firm I loved was the principle motive I agreed to camping trips as an grownup! So I replaced them with individuals who appreciated sleeping indoors and indoor plumbing better than leaky tents and stinky outhouses! It is not easy finding the humor in miserable conditions! What a terrific learn!
And all of them atrocious experiences except for one factor: being with folks I really like. So, love was the saving grace in each case. Interestingly, my daughter loves camping and at all times asks me if I'd like to come along together with her and her buddies. This is kind of an honor, I believe, however alternatively she knows I'll by no means say yes. Voted up and humorous! I'll be over to have a look at your hubs later! This is a great hub. I like the humor that is splattered all all through. I voted it up and throughout the board. What a talented author you are, JamaGenee! I completely enjoyed studying about your camping adventures. When so many individuals Third World international locations dwell in primitive conditions every day as a result of that is their solely choice, why would these of us in developed countries consider residing like that "recreational". I was typically asked, in relation to my abhorrence of camping, "Where's your pioneer spirit?". My answer was at all times something on the order of "MY pioneer ancestors didn't consider camping out 'enjoyable', both"!
