WAG - Heading out!
For those of you who check-up on a site on a regular basis, and Lord bless you for it, I’m going to be out for the weekend.
The weather forecast is supposed to be wet, so of course it’s time for a big, 3-day Royal Ranger campout. It’s the yearly campout for the Southern Missouri area. I’ve attended every year since 1992.
I’ll be taking off of work early and heading down to the Lake of the Ozarks. The campground doesn’t border any water, but it’s a short commute away for people who wish to brave the tourist traps, but I mention the setting simply to give one a better idea of the location.
I’m looking forward to it, despite the project precipitation. I always get the chance to catch up with old friends (as well as accomplices, co-conspirators, and sometimes co-dictators).
They’ll be stories to swap, plots to hatch, games to run, and fire to be played with (depending on how wet everything is as well as the quality of the gasoline).
I’ll be packing my frontier clothes, because I’ll be pitching in with the reenactment camp. Of course I’m also throwing in my usual camping outfit of t-shirts, shorts, and rubber boots.
[I’m really a fashion plate. It’s just the culture hasn’t caught up with me yet. Sure… right…]
It should be fun, the tent will probably be soaked, but I’m sure there will be stories to tell.
And maybe I’ll share some of them with you when I get back on Sunday.
The rest I’ll just take to my grave, but that’s standard practice.
Have a good weekend everyone.
