The Boss came back lasts Monday, that definitely stumped my ability to blog during the day. Anyhow, just got back from an overnight camping trip. It was great. I can say that now, but when I was hiking 7mi in 85+ degrees of dry heat with a freakin 30 pound pack on my back I was wondering what I was doing! But once we got to our camp site and took a swim in the cold water, after walking bare foot for at least 30 minutes over jagged rocks some covered in moss and then little pebbles that cut into your foot, it was worth it. The cold water felt really nice as it washed away our sticky sweat and soothed the mosquito bites we've accumulated along the way. Then we had to walk back over the jagged rocks some covered in moss and then little pebbles that cut into your foot to our camp site and make some food. Those freeze dry packages aren't bad at all!
When the sky became dark, the countless number of stars in the sky was indescribable. There was not one spot that wasn't covered with bright twinkling stars. It was great.
The next morning was the same grueling hike back to the car. But once we got home, the shower was my best friend. ahh..... can't wait to sleep on my bed tonight and be able to freely scratch those mosquito bites without the restraints of a sleeping bag.

So ... you're a walking West Nile carrier now, are you?
Who went?
I miss camping. Then again, I probably wouldn't make it that far - smoker, that's me.
