Killa Squirrelz
I went camping this weekend. Ordinarily, I’d post photos here, but my camera battery died. Instead you get a bullet-pointed synopsis:
- Sourgrass Rec Area is a nice place to camp and has clean toilets.
- The woods are very dark.
- The ground is very hard and uneven for sleeping, mat or no.
- The Stanislaus River is surprisingly loud at night.
- The Stanislaus River is very cold, day or night.
- That didn’t seem to bother Rose at all, though she did get out of the water once all her muscles froze.
- Jack taught me his traditional camping game, “Throw a rock at that other rock”.
- Jack and I invented a new game, “Throw a rock at that stick without actually hitting it”.
- Chopping firewood with a hatchet sucks.
- Killer Squirrels like bread, particularly if you leave a whole loaf where they can reach it.
- If you have pork chops, an open fire, and a Jason, you should see if you can get Jason to combine the other two in delicious ways.
- Never ask where Jason and Diane got firewood.
- Andrew explained that falling asleep sitting upright on a stump is picking a fight.
- Jack demonstrated by falling asleep sitting upright on a stump. There was a fight, and the potatoes were nearly harmed.
- A coffee press makes coffee better.
- Flimsy noninsulated plastic cups make coffee slightly worse, but still good.
There you have it.
