Maybe this Weekend!

…gotta tell you about the record my wife and I have been silently working on for some time now…it has to do with camping and it goes way back…since August 2002 (and maybe even slightly before that) my wife and I have camped in three different states and in some very diverse areas – and each time we go camping – yes, each time – it has rained on us!…the last several years our 6-year old son &  4-year old daughter have joined in on the fun, too!…

…sometimes it has been just a few thousands of an inch, but at least a couple of times we have endured 2+ inches of the wet stuff…most of this has taken place while we were tent camping, though last spring we added a small pop-up to the rotation and the rains continued …despite what you might be thinking we still have lots of fun on these outings…

…take for example our past weekend at the Nunda Shoal Campground, on Calamus State Recreation Area, where it rained just over an inch on Saturday Night…with a quick adjustment of locations we still got our morning hike in – ate breakfast and headed to Fort Hartsuff State Historical Park…the reenactment wasn’t taking place but there was a whole bunch of cool stuff to see as we toured the Fort’s buildings in the dreary conditions…once back to the campsite we played a few games we keep handy and when the sun did come out we headed to the beach…

…it’s always a good idea to be prepared for some rainy weather whenever you head out on a camping trip…my wife and I often pick spots that have more than just outdoor fun available, there are several such places here in Nebraska, and we make sure there are some activities we can do as a family in the camper, or tent, as well…also, plan a meal or two that take little prep and involves no cooking,  just in case you need to eat indoors…

…we will be putting our streak on the line again this weekend at Branched Oak as we look to take part in the Rinehart-100 Archery Event…wish us luck!…
