Still Crazy

It's dark and rainy outside and the kind of weather that drops 30 degrees in a few hours. Yep, and into this, I am going on a camping trip. There is a ban on open fires because of the previous drought, and I sure hope the ranger will feel some pity and let us have a fire.
Who in their right mind would do this? Well, I'm still holding the image in my mind of the guy I saw complete the Appalachian trail, coming in from the snow on New Year's day. If he could do that, than I can be miserable, freezing cold for a few days...while my nice warm house, with a big screen TV and fireplace is only 1 hour away.
Oh well, nobody wants to be the girly-boy that calls it off...so here we go.

this is a test

Are we crazy or what? Cold weather camping in Florida, while it's nothing compared to hiking the mountains in the snow, you do have to wonder why. Blue springs is there and the manatees are in, hanging around the 72 degree water, trying to stay warm, while we do the same in our tents. The only problem is that things are so dry, there is a ban on fires, so we will be shivering around a gas heater or charcoal grill.
But, it's the guys and fishing poles and kayaks, so we'll figure it out.
