519 REASONS

I posted a pic on Facebook of Sheldon hoisting our food up to distract the wildlife from the two humans sleeping in the tent. One of my friends asked if I was on 519 (as in camping site) and another said "519 reasons to NOT like camping?" 

So, with all due respect Rob, I know camping is not your bag, but I love camping and let me state my case! I'm not about to give you 519 reasons, but I can name a few! 

1) Camping mornings

Peaceful, calm, beautiful!

2) Camping Food!

What could be better than cooking over an open fire? Like these two slabs of fish??

3) A Good Camping Dog

This was a shocker. Lulu is a bit of lemon in the dog category. But she is the Best camping dog I've ever had! Great in the canoe, quiet, no trouble in the tent, doesn't wander from the campsite and looks pretty good when seated in a throne of Canadian Shield rock!

4) Playing Pass the Pigs

This here is a "Double Snouter" and worth 20 points. The only time we play "Pass the Pigs" is when we go camping. It's easy and small to pack in. You just roll the pigs and how they land will determine your points. But don't get too greedy...roll to many times you can lose all your points depending on how they land!

5) Canoeing

I love the schloop, schloop sound of the oars dipping into the water and spotting the loons on the lake!

6) The History

Generations upon generations have been coming here and making memories, including "Jax Dad". The first time we ever took the kids interior camping (Adrian 3 and Randi was 6), was to this very lake about 3 campsites away. 

I'm just getting started! I love everything being so manual and everything being so simple. I love afternoon naps in the tent. If the site is remote I love the clothing optional option! I love swimming! 

If Camping is not your thing, I get it (sorta). But it speaks to my earthy nature and I hope to keep on camping till I'm 92ish. 

Turn up the volume and enjoy the sound camping!
