Build Me an Ark

Well, the weekend camping trip is over. After 4 days of nearly constant rain, Sunday dawned clear and cooler. Perfect for packing up and trudging home.

The days preceding the trip home were filled with rain, fun, good food, rain, good friends and rain. The Drunkshoes tournament was nearly canceled due to the horseshoes disappearing in a bog. We learned about the life expectancy of a 12x24 foot dining fly (3 years, max, before it leaks everywhere). There were lessons in tying new and inventive knots in guy ropes. There were lessons in emergency tarp repair when Jobu dropped a limb on my tent (a small one, but it sounded like a gunshot from inside the tent).

All in all, the trip was a good one. I came home tired, but refreshed, and am looking forward to the next one.

Thanks, guys.

  2. It was wet, but it was nice. Can't wait for next time... speaking of next time, when's the family excursion to the Mtns? Mom was talking about taking the girls to a B&B and we could camp, fish, and make up stories....
