A few years ago someone, or something, made a crop circle in a cornfield next to the campground. No one saw any strange lights or anything like that. Now many people will not go to that camp ground. It is a real shame for them, but better for those of us who like areas with fewer people...

The old ones, are of course, the best. However, I made myself watch the first series in order. You have to do it that way or you get lost too easily. I think the writers of these episodes are doing pretty darn well.

I am lucky that I am the kind of person who gets in the right mindset when an emergency happens. I don't know if it is instinct or not. At the same time I know a lot of people who panic. If you are in a group you have to make sure that the person who keeps calm can keep the ones who might panic...

I was adding some new recipes to our camping book and I notices the pancake recipe called for two table spoons vinegar. Why would you put vinegar in pancakes, is that really necessarily?

I agree, I refuse to take high maintenance people and whiners on long trips like that. Heck, I don't even like them on short trips. I won't take lazy people either.

I guess any vacation is good as long as you aren't in pain. You could catch up on reading, write a book or watch some of the good documentaries that have come out lately. Hope you get some rest!

This reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Never Travel Without Your Towel!" I find you can never use too many good microfiber towels. I keep as many around as possible.

My socks don't wear out, but they do get lost in the thick of it all. I do find myself getting more from time to time. I always try to stick with wool if I can.

Maybe we should all email Myth Busters until they do this one, if they haven't already. Might be fun to annoy them in to doing it. Does anyone know what their email address is?

We like to take a net and play volleyball. There have been many times that other people have seen us play and wanted to join in. It is great to get to know some of the other campers that way.

After hearing about more wolf attacks I am starting to wonder how to survive in wolf country. I always imagine it being a little like Dancing with Wolves, where you make wolf friends. But now I am starting to think one should be taking measure to guard against them.

I never take that much oil. After hearing about the oil dough in the dutch oven I think I might start taking more oil so I can try to make stuff like that. Do you know the recipe?

I saw one on a TV show once and wanted one right away. Then I started wondering about the durability of it and moved on. I have never actually seen on in any of my local stores. I figured they were more of an infomercial type thing.

My 16 year old niece is going to come live with us for awhile. I know she doesn't have a lot of physical stamina. She will be required to come hiking with us. What can we do to help her build her hiking stamina up in a healthy way.
