Yanno, **DesertDog** , that’s a good idea. The tool box could be used as training for next season. Instill a pavlovian response to the color and decoration scheme so that they leave her cooler alone. See Beck? It’s all about the psychology. Gimme a bit and I bet we can come up with a portable handwash station they will be bragging about having and using on these trips to everyone. a marine? Did I know this already and just forgot? There’s something useful there, just gotta think about it… ---

Um. That’s a deer camp. It sounds about like ours. Maybe cleaner. Just substitute Whiskey and Weed for the beer. Maybe that’s why no female members of the family set foot at camp during deer season. Any other time of the year is fine because then it’s not deer camp…just camp. ---

A group of us used to camp together every Memorial Day weekend. One year, an attendee’s coworker asked if she could borrow a friend’s tent and join in on the fun. The first morning, everyone except new girl woke up with the sun. I got the coffee going and someone else began breaking eggs. Joints were being passed as we all sat around the fire, drinking coffee and beer. When new girl woke up and left her tent, everyone turned to look in unison. She was wearing pajamas under a big, fluffy robe, with big poofy slippers on her feet. She had spent time in her tent applying make up, while none of the other wives/gfs even brought any. We were all in the clothes we’d slept in. She realized how out of place she was and started crying, then went back into her tent. When she came back out of her tent she was dressed. She disassembled her tent, packed up, and drove off without saying a word other than an occasional sob/sniff. We were all too weirded out/high to say/do a thing. ---

Sam’s Club sells Clorox in a box: three giant bottles inside. It’s commercial grade, stronger than the household stuff. See how many boxes are in a pallet. All Deer Camp denizens must shower, gargle, and do any other body-cleaning activities with straight-from-the-jug Clorox. All Deer Camp clothing, tents, utensils, dishes, knives, guns, ammo, and other accoutrements must be soaked in undiluted Clorox. All coolers will be filled with Clorox and left opened, outside, until they no longer smell like a morgue. Ugh. ~VOW ---

I’ve been hearing huge booms all afternoon. The deer hunters are discharging their Muzzleloaders before heading home. It’s a sad lonely sound. It means they didn’t get their deer. And…the season has ended for many. Unfortunately it has just begun for us year-round residents. Ugh! ---
