Goood morning! There are hints of fall in the air. It's *almost* chilly outside. And the sun is getting lazy - sleeping in and such.

Have a day of chores and errands getting ready for our camping trip. Have to go get provisions and a tank 'o gas. Got the Liberty back from it's maintainence run yesterday. I'm still stuned at what they charge for "maintainence" - ack!!!!

Camping will be fun. Usually we do a modified backpacking trip: hike in, set up a small base camp, do day hikes from base. But this'll be our first extended trip with the dogs. Jack is up for hiking but Sadie isn't. It doesn't take much for her old bones to start aching and creaking. So we're car camping (*shudder*) and taking it easy up in the central mountains (sic) of PA. Should be just lovely - I can't wait!

We camped up at Adams Falls State Park northwest of Scranton when Paul and David were very little. It was a fun trip, and the park was gorgeous. Only wrinkle was the tent on the site over from us. It was two couples, and the guys decided to go out drinking one night. They returned in the middle of the night and the shouting commenced. SirKit heard them, I guess I was out like a light! The next morning, when we looked over at their tent, half of it was down because one of the guys had stumbled out drunk and fell on it.

Thankfully, they left that night.
