\"snoopy-camping\"<\/a>You might think I am sitting at home working on this blog article, but you would be wrong. Due to the magic of automation, I have pre-written this blog article and it is being automatically posted. At least I hope it is. However, if you are reading it, that everything worked as it was supposed to work. And, as you may have already guessed, I am not here writing because I have gone camping. As you reading this, I am sitting back, enjoying the great outdoors with two of my sons, one of my grandsons, my brother-in-law and two nephews. This is a special camp-out as my nephew has enlisted in the Navy (good choice) and thus will not be around for a while to participate in the family camp out for a while. So this camp out, and this article is dedicated to Joey. Good Luck, Joey!<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed camping very many years now. My camping experiences have run the gamut from roughing it (sleeping under the stars) to the other extreme of camping in a 31 foot travel trailer with telephone, cable and internet service, and all the comforts of home. Finally I have settled on semi-roughing it, I.E., sleeping in a tent, cooking on a camp stove, and sitting back and relaxing in a comfortable camp chair. For additional relaxation I have found that an occasional nip of Jack Daniels helps maintain the relaxed mood. This year, just to change it up a bit, we have added Tennessee Apple Pie moonshine to the repertoire. I will let you know later how that works out.<\/p>\n

Perhaps, as I walk around in the wods and look carefully, or don’t look where I am going, I may be able to answer that time-worn and often asked question, “does a bear defecate in the woods?”. \u00a0So, here\u2019s to family, fellowship, toasted marshmallows, roaring campfires, and that is all there is to say about that. Anchors Aweigh!<\/p>\n

Those are my thoughts, what are yours?<\/p>\n
