go on more camping trips

We only made one camping trip this year. Which may get added onto in september if the weather holds out. We didn’t get a fire but we did have a tarp and a tent and a little gas stove for popcorn and coffee. Almost the perfect brokeback camping trip.

Sadly my pump tent holds desperate vigil in an Egyptian sarcophagus by Rubbermaid.
Long past summer smoke lingers faintly on its’ tarp shroud.
Sacrificed carcasses of forest insect fauna lie flat in the seams.

Now my holiday camping is by the pool at camp Marriott.

I do so miss my camping. But now I have duty and lists of things to do and yet do not

I normally work weekends, but this year I am going to make an effort to go on my families annual camping trip that my cousins host in the Mountians near Seattle.

They have done it every year for the last few years and I would really like to connect witht he people I grew up with.
