Update on my excursion to the woods.

I was prepared to take Pf's advice, but at the last minute the "troublemaker"
couples backed out of the trip.  Gee too bad.  I was sooooo upset over this.
<<evil grin>>  We still had a few National Lampoon moments, but overall the
trip was great fun.

We ate too much, we drank too much (ok I didn't, someone had to stay
sober..lol, but I did have too much POP), we got too much sun, stayed up too
late, slept in too long, hiked a little too much, etc.  We only had a few
encounters with critters and saw some animal tracks of the feline (mountain
Lion) variety going right through our camp to the river and back up to the
hills.  =O  Saw some deer "droppings" and found some scratched up and mangled
fish carcasses on the shore of the river.  Later we were told it was most
likely a bear, since they often only eat the soft parts (the belly) and toss
the rest aside....apparently because they are lazy...lol.  We also heard a bear
digging in someone elses ice chest one night.  Bang ......boom .....grunt
......bang .....growl.........  Boy did those people look scared witless the
next morning when they realized how stooooooopid they were to leave all their
food outside on a picnic table. ;-)  We think these are the same Darwin Award
candidates that decided the next morning shooting off rifles into the air would
be a good thing to do. Dumb dee dumb dumb DUMB!  We also encountered a rather
bold skunk who was determined to keep us from the safety of our car. Hehehe. 
He finally got bored and skampered off.  My little one caught (and released)
his first fish ever.  The only catch of the day. =)  Really....we had fun. 
Really we did. =)
