yeah uh
oh yeah motor homes can be a lot of fun
yeah they really are they really are i've i've enjoyed it i've never actually done any uh like tent camping but uh one of these days i'm gonna try that too
yeah
uh that can be a lot of fun too
yeah like to go to visit to the national parks and state parks and and uh just get out and see nature
yeah
how about you
well so far my wife and i have pretty much had to stick with tent camping
uh-huh
this summer we went to uh the Smokey Mountain National Park
oh how great
and uh stayed about three or four days in there
it was wonderful nights were cool enough to where they're comfortable and the the days were nice and warm and it was beautiful beautiful few days
oh yeah
um
uh-huh that's great
it worked out particularly well especially considering she was what six months pregnant
uh-huh
so
i don't know it worked pretty well it was one of those uh those dome type pop up tents
um-hum um-hum
nice and quick and easy to put up and
yeah
packs away nice and small
yeah about had to be something like that getting around in a Pinto
well that's true that's true
it was a lot of fun
yeah i guess the last real uh camping trip i took was has been a couple years ago
yeah
uh i went to California and up to the Sequoias
ah that's got to be beautiful territory
yeah it's gorgeous i love the big trees
just just the drive up through um up the coast line and then cut over in into the into the parks it's gorgeous though
yeah
what like Sequoia National Park yeah uh
um-hum um-hum yeah i had been there before when i lived in California that's my first trip back in oh goodness hm hm thirty years maybe but
yeah
that is God's country it has to be
yeah
yep
do they still have the uh the scenic uh roadways that cut through the center of some of those trees
uh no no they don't that and the last one um and well the first time i was there the the tree was still standing but it has since come down
oh okay
yeah but they are huge if you've never seen them it's it's very awe inspiring
no so far New Orleans is far west as i've gotten
um-hum yeah
well New Orleans and uh Minneapolis
um-hum well there's lots of pretty country further west
oh yeah we're hoping one of these days soon after we're out of school to head that way
yeah
yeah yeah and needed need to take the little one
oh yeah
show them all the all the pretties before they go away
yeah they seem to be trailing out quickly
yeah
yeah because of there there's lots to see there's of course the the Grand Canyon and uh the Painted Desert is is real pretty in a in a different sort of way
yes
and course the the Sequoias and the Redwoods and and you get up into Bryce Canyon and Yellowstone and uh the Grand Tetons are gorgeous too
i imagine
yeah course i'm i guess i'm partial to big tree country

i don't know why i got stuck down here in Texas i think it's called a job i don't know
uh not a whole lot of forestry down there is there
no not around here not around here hm
oh
the place is forested with concrete with those concrete trees
um-hum lot lot of concrete and glass you know hm
