Clean as in wash? Before you go on a camping trip? Are sure you want to do that?

I presume she means clean it out from cemetery excurion readiness to prepare for camping excursion readiness.

Well...before we go up where there are bears, I clean out my car, really well. I wipe things down, check under seats, take out anything not necessary.

I vacuum and then clean the windows so we can see the beautiful places we are going.

My son asked me why I clean out the car so well after he saw his aunts car full of crap and she frequently visits areas with bears as well as I think she lives by them. But, I've seen the cars with bear damage...don't leave anything in the car that looks like anything.

I was told that smoking a cigarette in the car would remove the smell of any food....no fabreeze, they said.

Don't worry about bears... I'm not going. :p

Oh, and please remember "Priscilla, queen of the desert"..

.."A camping holiday, let's pack the drag away,
I'll pack the Lunch & Tea, you pack the Ecstacy."

...Have fun, don't think of me, I'll be fine here away from all the gourmet bear-less goodness.

....but have a wine or three by the campfire for me, willya ?

Hugs

Campers,

I've created a poll here to help us decide which fun activities we should do when. Obviously, we want to tackle the most popular stuff when the most people will be in camp.

Please saunter over there and vote. No need to if you intend to lounge in Swank Camp on a permanent basis. But if you'd like to participate in any of the optional adventure excursions, your votes will help the Swank Camp Community.

you dont exactly make it easy to choose the likely one or two we'll have time for. makes me wish I was there for a couple of weeks instead of a couple of days :)

I'm getting all phyched. I've fired up the campstove. Started getting all my crap nearer the front door. Done most of the shopping. Even whipped up a little Salsa Verde when an unusual domestic moment hit. Woo hoo!

I'm glad we're not going up with anyone else. I think the car will be full.

Of course, I need an entire cooler just for fuzzy water. ;)

Have fun kids :D
