Never Enough Time.....

There is never enough time to do all the things that I would like to do. I seems like as soon as you get camp set up you have to turn around and break it all down again and head for home. The last camping trip was a two day affair that offered a little more time for relaxing and planning the next move for the day. Two days is certainly better than one but not quite as good as three, or four, or five. But is was still well worth the effort.

You never know what to expect when you are out in nature. Once we got the camp site all set up, we decided to head out and get a few supplies. We left everything all set up and in place and worked our way back to Pisgah Forest and of course Wal-Mart (a.k.a Wal-Mart Outfitters) to get the stuff we needed. Nothing major, just some of the basic stuff to keep you going for a few days. After being out for an hour or so loading up on camp goodies, we head back to camp to get rearranged and settle in for the night and maybe have some eats before calling it a night. The surprise came once we got back to camp and started to unload the Explorer only to find that a Squirrel had been in camp and helped himself to the loaf of bead we left out on the table. Apparently it was the kind he was looking for because he only had a few nibbles. So having a sandwhich was now out of the question since Mr. Squirrel had made himself at home. This is an excellent time to try out the new dutch oven. Potato soup will do just fine in a situation like this.

The Highland Games at GFM was the highlight of the trip. We spent most of Saturday there listening to music. The bands last year were much better than this year but that is all a matter of opinion of course. I got a t-shirt and a cold out of the trip, I preffer the t-shirt.
