End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep
Creek near Boone for some whitewater tubing. Camper is still about
two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4
and is almost worn out).

You could do some whitewater tubing at WDW in Orlando, and stay in a
nice, well-furnished room with a full bath at night, cheapskate.

Bein a radical FL native who wishes everybody else would go back to

My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is
pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway.

I experienced some cold water this evening.

the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new
heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy.

Nope I am not sticking a toe in that.
I'm an 80 and over guy, we like 85.
Take a cruise on the Tahoe Queen or the other paddlewheeler. Nice cruise of
the lake, and stops at Vikingsholm at Emerald Bay.http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=506
We boat there once in a while.
Notnow: Thanks for the tip, I dunno how much time we will have. It
is a 10 hr drive from here.

Now I gotta decide, rush camper to completion tonite or go with the
tent. We have heard there are problem bears at Deep Creek. Been
there, done that, proved I can sit in my tent or in my sleeping bag
scared to death while they tear up my stuff next to me. Being older
gives me the right to be a wimp and want to be in a hard sided
camper. Have not put camper onto truck yet and I anticipate some
fitting problems, worth rushing or not for leaving tomorrow morning.


Be a man. Sleep in the tent. Take some righties here with you, and tie
them to trees to placate and feed the bears. A win-win situation.

You're a funny guy. If it weren't for the touristas in Florida, the
entire state would have dried up and blown away years ago, and you'd be
floating one of those doggy boats of yours up a dry creek, paddle
unnecessary.

Florida thanks you for your business. Come again soon.
