Default Hey John. How was the camping?

To me, recalling my Boy Scout years and experiences in western Kansas,
eastern Colorado, and South Dakota, camping meant sleeping out under the
stars or in tent. It didn't require backpacking. Oh, and I don't recall
mentioning a tour bus...is that part of your fantasy? The tent we stayed
in was a tad smaller than the one in the photo you provided.

........
No transport and no pac? But yet you set up a tent? Sumpin just ain't right....

I had a duffel with my stuff. The scout leaders had the camping gear.
Setting up a pup tent was well within my abilities, though I appreciate
that you probably had to have help.

Sounds like Kamping 101 must have been a required course at Kansas
Klown Kollege.

My recollection is that I was a cub scout at 7 or 8, a boy scout at 11,
and a sea scout at 14 or so. I had rural buddies when I lived in Kansas
and Missouri, and we did "camping light" a couple of times a year,
usually in western Kansas and we rode horses. I did a bit of that in
Kansas.

Camping? Hahahahaha... Camping...


Weren't you just the guy who was telling us about the tour bus
dropping you at a Tent cabin?

It doesn't sound like you were back packing into the wilderness
either.

I didn't hear you say you rented a car so it was just a guess.

Nope, we had a great time. This was a rally for the Virginia Good Sam club held down at the Virginia
State Fairgrounds. There were about 85 RV's there. All the activities, bands, etc, were in the main
events building which is about as big as a 747 airplane hangar. So, we didn't have to spend much
time in the rain on Saturday. The other days were beautiful, and the ride back yesterday was very
nice, even though it was on I-95. Of course we left about 8:30 before the traffic had a chance to
get bad.
