Camping In the Woods

Camping in the woods is not for me Some can live in both worlds side by side After all these years of city living Camping and me are at odds Without the modern conveniences though Would have a very tough time adapting Never have been the rugged outdoors type More like a frail gentle type A canvass between me and the outdoors Does not appeal to this old duffer Now lets talk about bears Bears and I have an amazing relationship If we stay a hundred yards apart they don't bite Well all things considered Camping and me do not compute

Hello Happy Jack, Camping is not for me either. I can not put up a tent. Nor a campfire. I rather sleep in my own bed. Love , Darlene xxxoooo.

I agree wholeheartedly, Jack. I like the comforts of home. If I want to smell the fresh air, I go to the meadow.

As you and the bears have worked out the terms to your truce so explicitly (a hundred yards)it is wise on your part ,I think Jack ,to stick to its conditions.

The bears and I have a truce! They won't kill me as long as I feed them some tourists
