Scarry Conversation

Yesterday at work one of the guys I work with said to me "At least we bought a motor home so we can go camping." Really?!?!?!?!?!? I didn't realize that one needed a house on wheels to go "camping". Is it really camping if you are living in a permanent structure (even if the structure is mobile). I feel like a sissy for sleeping in a tent even though weather or privacy sometimes make it necessary. I am going to J-Tree and the White Mountains next week, and am probably taking to much stuff, but I refuse to sleep in a motor home, fifth wheel, or travel trailer. I thought the whole point of camping was to be outside. Not to have a TV, DVD, and a shower (although after three days a shower does sound really good). My dad keeps trying to get me to take his truck and fifth wheel. It would cost more than a hotel to tow it to J-Tree. Besides, what kind of dirt bag climber sleeps in a fifth wheel anyway. *My apologies to all who think living in an RV is camping. I didn't mean you. I was talking about the other people.

You know how I feel about camping Rik... Like the very wise Lee W. Hummel once said "Camping is a hotel without room service". It's in my blood Rik.

I've always loved that quote, and have told several people about it. Now I know who to credit it to. I always thought it was a Stayc original.

No... Just something I inherited from my Dad...
