See the cows in the backgroud? On the trail to the campsites you had to walk through a meadow filled with cattle. I'll tell you, if you have never been that close to steer before you don't know what you're missing. As many as there were it was a little uneasy especially when we encountered a long horned steer up ahead blocking our path to the campsite. "Well" Sheldon said, "if you don't bother it, it won't bother you". "Okay"
Have you ever gone camping
and realized when you got
there that you had forgot to
bring the poles for the tent?
Well, that is what Sheldon
has just realized!
Opps!! The poles are in PA.
Have you ever had to do this? Here you see the ingenuity of two frustrated campers without tent poles. Want to hear a funny story about that night? Well here it goes.....I was asleep when all of a sudden something from the outside of the tent was nudging my head and sniffing. Okay I thought, whatever this is will leave if I make some noise. So I coughed and rustled around. Well that was that......or was it? Later that night I awoke again. This time I found myself literally pushed to the other side of the tent up against Sheldon. Something was pushing me from the outside of the tent. Again it was sniffing and grumbling. You see we had no poles or stakes to hold the tent down so whatever this thing was it was big enough to roll me over to the other side. And like that it was gone. The rest of the night was uneventful. To this day I have no idea what it was but I have my suspicions. The park ranger informed me the next day that yes there has been a bear spotted in the area!! Pretty freaky!!
