Camping pics
 
Most of you know (since I never shut the hell up about it) that I go camping every year to the same place, with the same friends, in the same cabins. It's on the Allegany Reservoir/Kinzua Dam in NY near the PA border, run by the Seneca Nation of Indians. Very cool place. Have been going there for the past 11 or 12 years. This is the first time that one of the days was a total washout. :distress:

We got there Friday around 3, blazing hot & hellish humidity. Ick. Saturday, it starts to rain by 8am & doesn't stop until 10pm. What a waste. Played cards & board games & drank all day. Sunday (when half of the group had to go home, btw) was sunny & gorgeous & comfortable. We left Monday at noon, yet another beautiful day.

Nothing too exciting happened this year, we didn't even go hiking or anything, Sat was such a disappointment that Sun we just wanted to sit there & bask in the sun & play lawn games. My sister in law brought an air horn (cuz she's an asshole) so that was amusing at times. Here's some pics:

Here are our cabins:

Sitting on the porch Saturday, cold, wet, bored & probably drunk:

Froze a holy butter lamb from Easter to demolish with corn on the cab at camping. The littlest things amuse us greatly:

Nobody will get this except Hawkeye, maybe Goldie. There's a fugitive who escaped jail here with only a few days left in his sentence. They've been looking for him ever since, and he's become a cult hero/joke/whatever. I had to take a pic of this sign:

GREAT pics!!!!!!

Also, I love a coozie.

I have a lime green one with flourescent pink lettering that says

If you're rich I'm single" :cool:

Lovely scenery... I love the game Jenga! Haven't played that in ages.

Bacon...wrapped....cheese...stuffed....chicken???? :shocked: I think you should've had the white trash title over that one, too. Did you guys have any salami stuffed pork chops with cheese and sausage gravy? Or how about some deep fried donut topped pepperoni sticks with butter?
:laugh:

Those pics look great, I'm jealous as usual. Or, would be, if I didn't go to the beach and marina last weekend, and wasn't going camping in two weeks. I'm theoretically jealous. I like the little frog a lot. Is it weird that I kind of felt sorry for your butter chick?

Those pics of you are cute, I don't think that one is bad at all. :shrug:
And look, you got Strand to say your pics were good, which is more than I could accomplish. :cool:

I would be so pissed about the cloudy day. When my "friend" came to visit one weekend in June, it was the only cloudy weekend that month, and all I did was pout. Well, not all, but about half of what I did was pout.
I will say, however, it looks like a beautiful place to have rain, like it would smell great and still be beautiful. :)

Whatever, I'm glad you're back, I missed you. :xoxo:

Trashy?!?! :eek: Not for the money they paid for them! For the record, they weren't drumsticks with American processed cheese tossed on - they're boneless skinless breasts stuffed with cream cheese & chives wrapped in said bason. Do you think bacon wrapped scallops are trashy too? Is it a pork prduct issue for you? Harumph. :mad:

:p

And it's a butter LAMB, not a chick. Please get your Easter references straight. ;) Does everyone else have those around Easter? It may just be a local Polish thing....

The frog was cool, there were actually several of them in the showers.

A)I've never heard of or seen butter made into any shape
B) Anything wrapped in bacon is gross and trashy, and automatically not good for you. Also, I don't like bacon.
C) Maybe if it was prosciutto or something...

Are we all clear?
