Camp! Camp-a-lamp!

Yesterday was another not so special day until 7:45 when i got a call saying that some people (caleb, beth and robby) were going camping at 8. I really wanted to go, so i hauled ass over to caleb's house where everyone was meeting, and as usual, everyone else was still about an hour late. It's no problem, i just hang out with caleb and his crazy bb gun-shooting brothers, but it wasn't until about 9 that we left caleb's, and we still had to go to walmart for food before we took off, so it was about 10:30 (at night this all is...) before we got out of town.

We were going to head up to ... vedawoo (or however the hell you spell it) in wyoming, but when that was full, we had to head up to happy jack... which as you all know is right next to the lincoln memorial in wyoming. So we got to the camp site around midnight, started a fire, roasted hot dogs... set up the tent... it was all good.

We had bought some beans, and i had heard that you can cook them directly in the can, so i poked some holes in it for ventilation, and put it on the little grill above the fire. They were doing fine, but when i realized the pocket knife we had didn't really have a way to open the can, we had to re-think. We had a frying pan so we were gonna empty it into there, but the pocket knife wouldn't cut a cross section in the can, and the little can opener on the knife didn't work. Crap. We eventually got around to trying to use our ax to open the can, and it resulted in beany saucy goodness flying everywhere, and it just dented the can in more so we couldn't open it. We ditched that and just had our hot dogs and other stuff, and that was good enough as it was.

When the fire died down, we hopped in the tent and sang songs until about 4, and we all drifted off to sleep.

This morning was slow and tired, but i made a peanut butter, jelly, marshmallow and chocolate burrito (two in fact) which were about the damn yummiest things i've had in a while, so that started the day off right. We packed up and headed home shortly thereafter, and it brought a close to a fairly successful little trip.
