It's Been a While

Greetings everyone, it's been a while since our last post. Sorry about that. As of lately things have been very busy between the different jobs I have been working. Anyways, the topic for this post is somewhat of a follow up in the last post, Spending Time with Family. This is specifically on camping. Whether you're a single guy or girl, a group of guys or girls, or even guys and girls, young married couple, or even if you have a family, even if you're up to it when your kids have grown up and moved out, camping produces bonding moments.

Why? Generally there will be an event that at the time might be a tragedy, but after the initial incident, you will probably look back on it and laugh. From personal experience I can say this is true. When I was a small child, we made a trip out to Wyoming. All the way there we were having troubles. Our pop up trailer had a flat going into Wisconsin, and another coming out of Wisconsin. We blew a gasket while in the middle of nowhere South Dakota and a hail storm with winds so strong we thought we were going to be blown off the side of the bluffs. Another camping experience was when we went to Jay Cook up in MN, about a half hour south of Duluth, MN. One night some raccoons were trying to get into the tub of food we had and my mom was already awake trying to get my dad's attention. Right when my dad and I wake from the twilight, we here, "They're getting into the chips!" And my mom loooves potato chips, making it sound like that was the only thing she was concerned about. So when she said that we just started laughing. To this day we still occasionally tease her about that.

If it's just you all by yourself, it can be great too as you can just get away from everyone and every thing and have your own schedule and just relax and be yourself while camping. Or if you're wanting to go with some friends and hang out and rough it for a few days is also great bonding time. Even if you're a young couple it's a great time to continue to know each other and how they tick. If nothing else you can turn it into a learning experience and finding out what you both enjoy or dislike, try something new.

Thankfully with this post I've been able to get my wheels going as to what the next post will be, so hopefully I'll get a consistent posting going for a little while. But that will been another day, another post, another Guru. Cheerio!
