A tent, a fire and...what?! No Marshmallows?

I have a confession to make. Well, to be exact, I have two confessions (this is a bad start to the day). Number 1: I wrote out the next installment for my little story I'm writing but...I left it at my apartment. I thus will not see it until Tuesday when I return home. I will try to type out what I wrote on Wed. Number 2: Yes. I'm afraid it's true!! No one brought any marshmallows! 

Here we are (there were about 14 or so) and I didn't see a single marshmallow! I'm just as guilty as the rest. I went shopping for food and do you think I grabbed s'more stuff? Nah! I did bring the cheez-its though. But not s'more stuff. I'm appalled for myself! I can't imagine what my readers are thinking (please comment on this. S'mores around a campfire is essential to life). 

Besides the lack of essential marshmallows and the abundance of rain on Saturday, the weekend went well. Baxter state park is a beautiful place to go camping and with Mount Katahdin nearby, there is lots to do outside. 

I would like to express my concern though. I'm sure that most of you out there will not share the same concern. You may even think "I would love to go camping there". I'm concerned with the future of camping. Here we are in the middle of...well...almost nowhere, camping, enjoying good times with good friends beneath the unhindered sky (unhindered by Portland's lights) when I learn something.

Someone has had the audacity to put showers on the campground!! Showers!! Can you  believe this?? I was shocked. Camping, which generally has no showers, was my only excuse not to worry about my hair being greasy. I'm camping! Now, everyone could look at  me and say, "Wow, Kim, your hair is a mess." And I can't even respond, "Well, I'm camping. I don't really have access to showers." I couldn't say that. I had access to a shower! What in heaven's name was I supposed to do then??!!! Does anyone else here see my dilemma?

  2. I think it's more interesting that you posted a blog while you were camping, than there were showers. LOL. But you definitely need s'mores while camping... pretty sure there's a law about that.
