ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
We did a Labor Day weekend party at friends' house last year - and did the requisite tent, air mattress, etc. Now that I've been working in the garden and have gotten a bunch of sun, the scars on my leg from the one night I spent in the tent are obvious - I got up needing to relieve myself of beer and tripped over the rope holding up the tent and landed in a pile of pine cones........
I don't do camping.........this Labor day weekend I will either sleep on their couch or drive the 30 miles home and sleep in my own bed and let daddy and daughter enjoy themselves camping out.
Enjoying camping is all about intent, preparation to meet it and having a positive mental attitude to overcome the factors that may have a negative effect on your experience. You need to know what you intend to get out of it, be prepared for contingencies and having a PMA to get past the inevitable things that go wrong. If you aren't willing to do that, then don't go or count on being miserable if you do.
LOL! That happened to me MORE than once. In daylight too.
Also, there was always that one pesky tree stump that protruded through the earth that I always seemed to trip on or stub my toe on.
It always seemed more funny when it happened to someone else though.
The last time we tried was when my wife and young daughter went with our neighbors to camp at Lake Travis in Austin, TX. The first day was fun, but if you Google for the 1981 Austin Memorial Day flood, you'll see how our weekend turned out. Had to bail out of the camp site late Saturday night... barely made it up to high ground. Haven't been camping since. :)
