Hi Blue--As usual, your post made me laugh, and think....the laugh was the thought of your poor little doggies just listening to the empty can opener...and no prize.... The "think" part...several things...most of all, BE SAFE...! I'm sure also that a piece of many of us will go with you there in spirit...although I personally admit, I agree with sandintoes and Sarki ~ While I love the outdoors, 4 days roughing it on Mt Rainier in a forest service camp ground, with no tables, only outhouses, and piped in water.. made it a total necessity to spend a week in a resort like the 4 Seasons...I guess that's why so many wealthy folks went to the Adirondaks in the early 1900's....they could have the illusion of being in the wilderness, but having seen some of the 'camps' (as they call them....) they definitely had all the trappings of civilization in a rustic setting...Maine has their 'cottages' also...same deal....The smallest dwelling on some of those camps and cottages is 10,000+ sq feet...
With life moving at warp speed today, more and more of us will on purpose return to a simpler life,at least as often as we can, so that we can become reaquainted with life, and what's important. Happy Trails to You...! KLP |
