Priceless...

Post by deschutestrout » Sun Feb 28, 2010 3:51 pm

Saving for an engine rebuild. Saving for a new fancy paint job. Saving for the Squareback I've always wanted....where's my credit card?

Sittin' on a log in the woods on a sunny Oregon Sunday, eating Cup 'o Noodles with the boys made with water heated on my Westy stove...priceless!

Good post. I doubt anyone ever said "Dammit I wish I hadn't spent that time camping with my kids" Except Bridgette's Mom and Dad. They might have said that.

My father never said that, but he might have agreed with the sentiment. When I asked him why he never went camping with my brother and me when we were in the Scouts, he said that three years in the Civilian Conservation Corps followed by another three years in the Army (in World War Two) had cured him of any inclination to rough it again.

You know, but the city has made you soft.
The trick is warm, dry, and well fed. A decent IPA can't hurt either!
Are ya thinkin about camping more this year? We do go out from time to time. It would be great to have you join us more.

If I went through that I'd never sleep on the ground again either.

......A lucky man. All that plus the wisdom to know you cant put a price on a simple pleasure like time on a log with your kids

I don't think a day goes by when Mark doesn't count his lucky stars.
