Says Sandy: >The best part is that CAMPING SEASON IS HERE AGAIN: starting with a Sierra >Club Peace River outing this weekend. Yeah; my parents home in Hollywood has 18" of freeboard. Their lake is the highest in memory (which is the entire life of that man-made b.o.w.). The second longest night I ever spent was on an October backpacking trip in N. FL: mistakenly expecting a cool mosquito-free night (read: ill-prepared), at about 3 a.m. I was lying in the river with only my nose exposed, vainly seeking respite and conservation of my dwindling blood supply. But at least you have pit-vipers. I'll take the Indigenous-American Summer we are having here in the P.N.W.; Saturday night (after surfing all day) was spent with friends around a big roarer, 50 degrees F., s'mores, trees moaning in the wind, spectacular shooters. Morning visitation by the local Elks club. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Oct 21 1999 - 09:42:57 PDT
