Real camping

We won’t be in Kansas anymore. We’re joining a group of friends from the campground this weekend and going rafting down the Little Miami River. It also means tent camping. None of the comforts of home. No cable, no air, no running water, no bed. What did I get myself into? Actually we did start out tent camping several years ago. I have a very nice Coleman 6 person tent. We did a few primitive camps before Shannon’s dad told him about the places that have electric hookups. After that, we were always at a state park. It was nice in the dog days of summer to have a fan to move air around while trying to sleep at night. And occasionally have a TV to watch at night. But when I bought the camper in 2005, that’s all she wrote for the tent camping. But tonight, after work, we’ll be digging through camping equiptment we haven’t seen in 4 years to see what we have, what we need and then smack us in the head saying, why did we agree to this? Oh yeah, it’s friends and fun and one last bash before the end of summer. We’ll be just fine. I’m sure that it’ll be Shannon bitchin about the heat more than anything. (My main complaint will be his snoring). I haven’t been rafting or tubing in years. I’m hoping for a little bit of rain before Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, parts of the Little Miami river are only at 1.5 feet deep. Somehow I don’t think my butt’s gonna float in 1 1/2 feet of water. lol.

It’s back to school time. Do I hear sighs of relief from all over? Well, count me among the kids cryin that they don’t want to go back. Back to school for me means ignorant bus drivers. Now, I’m by no means saying that all schoolbus drivers are ignorant. Just the ones in my neighborhood. And ignorant may be to strong a word. Annoying is a better word. I just don’t understand how a bus driver, with a bus full of kids can blow a red light? It’s commonplace here. So traffic’s a mess again and I need to remember to leave for work earlier just to avoid them.

Well, it’s time to work. And blog hop where I can. So many are still blocked from being able to leave comments. Rest assured I was there, you just may not know it. Have a great day and watch for another freebie tomorrow.
