Camping update

Thought it was time for an update on Debbi’s Great Camping Adventure. LOL The most important point to report is….she survived!! It’s also significant to report that she and Jerad, as a couple, survived as well.

The morning they returned I spoke to Jerad first, I asked if there were pictures, and how it went. He said one of the relatives had taken video. I told him I knew people that might pay handsomely for copies. Here are some highlights:

• Six people and the dog were all stung by bees.
• Emily, who is easy going and usually ready to go along with most anything, was in the car at the crack of dawn buckled in and ready to leave for home.
• Debbi drove an hour and a half to the restroom. I asked if she did that every time and she said only once. I asked what she did the rest of the time, and she said she only went once! She claims to have gone 6 days before without use of the facilities when someone sighted a rattle snake. If that statement came from anyone else I’d have to call “Bullshit” but with Debbi I have to admit that I believe it.
• Not only where there no modern facilities, Debbi was also horrified by their consumption of beer and fatty foods. In her campaign to Not Go, she restricted herself to cheese.

Debbi is pretty much done with bare bones camping, but she is excited about doing some more things in the Gorge. However, she will be insisting on staying someplace with clean sheets, room service and of course, indoor plumbing.
