A New Trailer
I bought a new camping trailer on Friday
afternoon. We drove 200 miles to Fort Bragg. We set up in the dark and were exhausted, so we went to bed. The low temperature
and high humidity made it unbearably cold. The next morning it was colder and misty. Read manual on new trailer and found
out all we had to do was to set the thermostat to a comfortable 75 degrees!! Never listen to a wife that says don't touch
anything until we read the manual!!

The Best Trip ever!
I
was 7 years old and my dad and step-mother had plans for us to go to the coast. So we packed up for a 4 day weekend at the
beach! I had never seen the ocean before. We drove for hours and finally we were in Crescent City. All of a sudden there
was the water to the right of me as far as the eye could see. My parents kept driving and the water disappeared and
I could not see anything but trees. We arrived at the Mill Creek camp group just south of Crescent City, CA. It was so awesome!
Setting up camp was fun too. I had never done it before. We stayed in camp that night and made dinner on the camp fire and
played games. There were three families all there together so I had kids to play with and we had the coolest tree stump in
our campsite. All 5 of us kids could stand on top of the stump and there was plenty room for more kids. It became our fort
for the weekend. The next morning, we had to wash up from breakfast, get our bathing suits and a change of clothes. My mom
was busy getting sun block, towels and a football. We all got into the cars and away we went. We were headed to the beach!
We parked the truck and I headed towards the water. My mom grabbed the camera and got pictures as I left a trail of clothes
from the parking lot to the water. This was the most exciting thing ever in my whole life! I played in the water for hours!
My parents had to drag me off the beach. I will never forget that trip. It changed my whole life. I fell in love with the
outdoors that weekend, and I will spend the rest of my life exploring all that nature has to offer.

An Unexpected Friend
We
were traveling from Pennsylvania to Texas going home from our two week long vacation. We were entering into Kentucky
when our cat sitter called with some bad news. Our fifteen year old cat had passed away. We stopped for the night in
Louisville, KY and rested. The next day we decided to visit St. Louis as a side venture. We got to the St.
Louis site earlier than we normally did, so I decided to catch up on laundry. While doing laundry, the weather changed
from cool to dark and cold. I was leaving the laundry area and I saw something move quickly toward me. I could
not see anything but little specks of white. When I got into the light I saw this beautiful creature. She
was a tuxedo cat. I inquired about her at the store. I was told that she had been left behind, but adapted to everyone
who worked there and some that had visited. The clerk asked if we wanted her. I was a little hesitant because
we did not have the items needed to care for a cat on the road. The next day my husband packed the car along with our new
friend, Ms. Burbank. We stopped and got the items we needed to travel with her. She is a great traveler.
