As a lot of you know, I just love camping. Well last week while up in the mountains with my daughter who just graduated from high school, we ended up in one heck of a rainstorm while fishing at the lake. It lasted two hours. We had one huge umbrella two chairs, and a sun shade that goes on cars. We were the only crazies there fishing. The thunder was extremely loud too, with the rain to match. No lightening, thank goodness. During the entire time we huddled close together and barely got wet. It was so much fun. This is the way I see it.....
Gas used on trip......$150.00
Campsite cost..........$100.00
Incidentals...............$80.00
Being with my kid in the middle of a tremendous thunderstorm..... PRICELESS

That's a great little story Condor!! I'm a real "family" person and love to hear this type of story as there are just too many bad things we here today about kids and parents both. I guess I'm a lot older then you but we think alike. Here's a photo of my son Tom and I on a fishing trip he took me on as a Father's Day gift! Note the caption,,,,,I guess we DO think alike!! ;D  connrock |
