[Killearn Kitties]

Well you people certainly know how to rough it in style! Fabulous food, drinks, ice etc. I'm impressed!

Debbie, what on earth are you singing?????????
I don't know that song.

LOL! I read that too fast and thought it said portable BEAR!

Roughing it? Camping out for this City gal is no room service

I LOVE Yosemite! I have cousins who actually live there (well, not really IN the park, but close). Leslie (my cousin) is still in the hospital recovering from a horrific automobile accident just before the 4th of July. The good news is that she IS going to walk again, but it's going to take a while. She has a LONG road of recovery ahead of her.

A cuppa tea for me and I'll just sit here with the orange kitten in my lap enjoying the view of El Capitan and Bridal Veil Falls - ain't nature grand?

Redd,

For this thursdays, the part of the portable bear will be played by......(drum roll, please)

ORC!

He looks mighty funny with them fake ears and wearing the throw rug!

While we're singing camping songs.............

In a cabin in the woods,
little old man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
knocking at his door.

Help me help me help me he said!
'fore the hunter shoots me dead

come little rabbit come inside, safely to abide.

or the alternative version......

In a paad in the forest green
Little hermie was surveyin' the scene
Came a rabbit, boppin' by, rappin at his door!

Oh well LH, Another trip to the L&H to find Orc the bear's remote unless Mario has been going through the movie channels again!

[Lady's Human]

Judging by the twitching, I would suspect the latter.....

and y'all please keep LOH entertained, as I'm going on another real field trip, 4 more weeks in fun filled OK

LH, we'll keep an eye on LOH & Lady and make sure they won't get into trouble. Lion and tigers and bears, oh MY!

KK - consider yourself lucky - its a kids camping song.

T&P - I really hope I don't spend the rest of the night with this song stuck in my head....

I don't know that song.

I think every Girl Scout in the universe knows that song, hey, even LH knows that song how scary is that!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Here you go, Karen. Guess I got some of the words wrong, but the idea is the same. Think of 30 girl scouts sitting around a campfire on trees that had been cut down and laid around the fire - no comfy camp chairs here. Girls broken into two groups of 15 each with the counselors taking whichever side they choose. Or, if it's a smaller group, the counselors would sing the first round (large letters) and the girls would sing the second roung (small letters).

Everybody now!!!

PS - about those logs....they don't make the best camp chairs because when the fire is big, you're WAY too close to it and it's too hot, and when the fire burns down, you can't just pull your chair closer. Much better to just have a moveable stump. Much more mobile, but be careful after you've had a few slushies because they're not near as stable.

Thanks P&T just what I need, you know I'm going to be stuck with that song for the rest of the night.

rest of the night? REST OF THE NIGHT??!?! The second Richard mentioned Bear I've had the song stuck in my head, and it probably won't go away until next week sometime now that I know the words again.

I wonder if those counselors knew how damaged we'd all be by that song.

Zippy, what does that mean? Terry and I were thinking about getting into geocaching once we don't have to work anymore....soon in other words.

Oh you should! It's a ton of fun.... even though I only do it in the fall/winter months. (Too many creepy, crawly, and rattle-y ( ) critters out here in the desert for any other time.) Have you checked out the geocache website? With your adventures, you should pick up a few "traveling bugs."

As for the lingo --- Phred... Oh Phredddd... you want to decipher? Where is he? --- Ah well, here goes...

Thanks Zip. I've briefly checked out the web site, enough to find out it sounded like fun and something that our new life style would be perfect for.

I just thought of something.....sorry Gini.....I think Richard had an inkling that Gini's tree was going to crash and that's why we're camping this week....just think of all the firewood!!! Sorry Gini.

Spend some time exploring the Web Site ...
There's sections and Forums explaining the Hobby of Geocaching VERY well!

Do some reading BEFORE you by a GPS Receiver ... you might want to get a
Hand-Held that's from the same family as the Rollin Howze's GPS.
These days the Garmin Line is a major favorite because of warranty, friendly tech support,
and other issues.

I go out with "The GeoMutts" and we pretty much have a blast!
They've actually "spotted" a few caches when I was clue-less!
"We" log our stuff on the web site under "DogDad".
