Campfires and Thunderstorms Campfires and thunderstorms: Heads poke out from under cover, To see clouds bursting, That swell the river. Ears prick to hear tree snapping sounds, As lightning cracks and thunder booms. Torrential rains pour down to soak the ground; The firewood gets wet, and the tent gets water logged. Dismal and miserable, the campers reflect Then, eyes fix upon the canoe tucked away, Still overturned and safely protected. Sighs of relief as they sit and wait.

I've been reading your canoeing/camping series and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. The Portage and Rapids Ahead were great. Have not done much canoeing but have camped throughout the southwest U.S. Again, I really enjoyed your travelogue. John
