    Default Roughing It?

    Personally, I'd rather stay in the woods. To each his own I guess. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/07/cal...bed/index.html

    That sounds like the kind of thing, my other half would do.

    One time she got mad at me because she asked about going to this restaurant, where you cook your own steak, and I answered with "Yeah....and if I pay extra, do I get to wash my own dishes?"
    Maybe it was my "tone"! LOL

    Default Brooklyn Bridge

    If they can do that , perhaps I can sell someone this bridge that I have just up the road a piece?

    Sadly, the backdrop for the bridge has changed a bit.

    LOL no no I meant the hotel room thing. Wal-Mar camping has it's purpose and I have done it. When passing through or in odd circumstances like yours it is a good alternative. It makes me laugh when some come up here and camp for a week at the Wally World though. Kinda takes the fun out of the whole thing...don't it.

    Let's see $19/ night = 2nights at most state parks and a bundle of firewood. Don't sound like a deal to me. Unless they have something else there that I don't know about, I wouldn't have anything to do, "cept crawl in the tent and sleep. Boring.

    Should they inform management when he decides to repel from his balcony, to visit with the local natives, where they will show him how to kill time?

    Had to laugh at this, it brought back wonderful memories of wychwood jnr and his friends building a "tent" with my clothes airer and a sheet in the dining room when he was small, and he's always treated wychwood towers as a hotel, so no difference really(except the pool jacuzzi etc)

    I have set my tent up in the living room for my daughters sleep overs. Kids love the idea.
