camp

I have to work Friday and Saturday…so, no camping for me. I guess it’s time to move this goal into a longer-term category and forget it until at least spring.

There’s a problem at the campsite and a bunch of other problems I don’t have time to get into.

Hopefully my friend will be staying in the state long enough that we can get this resolved and do it next week, maybe.

A friend’s coming out to my state next week; he’s visiting for other reasons first, but the second week he’ll be closer to me so we’ll head to a campsite near the volcanic area for a couple of nights. :)

I just wonder if any of the talk is gonna turn into action this season!

Now I just have to wait a few weeks and see who’ll be first to finish idly flapping their lips and start making real plans about going with me.

I have a tent and a sleeping bag and a location in mind. As far as I know I lack two things now:

1) a camping pad

2) someone who knows what they’re doing sleeping outdoors

I wrote the local military surplus place an email and asked if they have any camping pads in stock right now; I would just go but it’s pretty far from me; too far if I’m not sure I’m going to get what I wanted. And I have two outdoorsy friends who have expressed a willingness to share my maiden voyage into the great outdoors; one is thinking September might be a good time for it, the other one is planning on visiting my state in October and said that if the other friend isn’t coming through for me for whatever reason he’d be interested in going.
