Camping

Yesterday I went to go get our camper.  This is the most work I have done in a week.  Well I did pick quite a few weeds on Saturday.  My hand finally feels pretty good.  I am not supposed to use it for another week, but it’s just so hard not to use it because it feels so good.  I do have to be careful though because if the blood flow is cut off I will lose the fistula and that would mean another surgery.  I thought that would be a good update about my health.

Now about the camper.  We went to pick the camper up from the place we dropped it off last winter.  I can’t remember the name of it, but they probably have a 100 trailers there.   When you drive in it says it has a security guard.  It doesn’t.  Julie and I drove in grabbed our trailer and headed out, not a soul in sight.  I told Julie that we should have just hooked up to a bigger trailer like a fifth wheel or something.  We only took ours though,  and that should be good for the camping trip we are going on this weekend.  Camping for me is fun for about 1 day.  Then I have to sleep.  I for some reason I can not sleep while I am camping.  I feel like bugs are touching me and I feel sticky even if I just took a shower.  Sometimes when I see like ants by me or other bugs I feel like they are on me and can’t get it out of my mind.  I know it’s crazy, I think it might be a phobia. Some times Julie tells me when we are in bed at home that she sees a bug.  It’s not very nice. Anyway I stay awake usually about half the night.  The rest of camping is pretty good though.  I mean I have only ever gone for a weekend and at the end of the weekend I am ready to go, but it’s mostly fun that weekend.  The other thing is it is a lot of work especially with a pop up.  I don’t know if you ever had a pop up camper.  I can see how a big camper that doesn’t have to be opened up being really nice.  You can just throw you stuff in the camper and then take off.  Nice!!  A pop up you have to open the camper up at home and clean it, then put your stuff in, then close it up.  Then you go camping you open it up and camp.  Then you close it up.  Then you go home open it up clean it and then close it up.  When you only go camping for one whole day that is a lot of work.  Well that is what we are doing this weekend, guaranteed to be a lot of work.  In two weeks though, we go to Young State Park.  This is the best campground I think in the U.S..  If you haven’t gone, go, it has everything you need for a good time.  I like camping here, first of all because Julies whole family is there and they are fun.  Also there is a lot to do, the beach, boyne city and charlevoix.  This camping trip I get to go 2 weekends and only have to pack the trailer up three times instead of 6.  This is nice and I will enjoy this trip. Julie will be there 10 days so that’s nice for her to.  Maybe I will change my mind this weekend about camping for one weekend but probably not.
