okay
so uh what are your camping experiences like
lately they haven't been much but as a child i used to
go camping a lot with my my parents we would uh we lived in Mississippi then and we'd go out and camp for the weekend and fish and
uh-huh
but we camped like in tents not in uh the mobile home or the
oh yeah you roughed it
right that's what i consider really camping
basically
yeah i the only really camping experiences uh i've had i guess was probably with the Cub Scouts or the Boy Scouts when uh i was younger uh we used i remember one time we went to uh
uh-huh
uh there's a lake called Lake Lanier here in Georgia that we went to and we camped out on the island and we kind of
got familiar with that lake
yeah we setup we set up all our you know we we canoed out to some island and uh that was a lot of fun set up because we were all we were isolated from everyone else but um
uh-huh
that's pretty much
i haven't been lately i have i've i've wanted to lately but there's a i'd like to i need to get some equipment first and i don't really have the money for it now i've i've been looking into like buying uh
uh a tent of some sort but they're really expensive like the good ones
they are uh-huh
so that's kind of put a cramp in my camping style so late lately i've just kind of for outdoorsy type stuff i've pretty much been you know one day trips where i'll i'll maybe drive up to Alabama somewhere like in a
northern Alabama i'm into rock climbing a little bit so so if one of my roommates has some ropes ropes and stuff and sometimes we go up there and
oh that's neat
climb around on the rocks and stuff but usually it's a one day affair it's not a overnighter type thing but i'd like to i'd like to really get into that kind of thing
yeah well lately about my only halfway experience with camping is we uh
my husband races cars
uh-huh
and in fact we come to Atlanta for about ten days every year and and that's part of my camping experience is we camp out there a little bit sleep in our van or what have you for a few nights and um
oh yeah
yeah
kind of cook out of it and what have you but
the last the last true camping experience i had is when uh
i drove across country with a friend of mine he lives he goes to school out in California and we drove his car out there and uh we drove you know we took kind of a scenic route we went through uh
uh the Grand Canyon and
oh sounds nice
and uh someone one of us had a tent but not all of us had sleeping bags and it was kind of a it was late summer but it get it got it got really cold at night a lot colder than we thought it would so the sleeping bag was just big enough to
um-hum
was just small enough so that it didn't actually cover everyone so it was kind of uh a wrestling match for the for uh
you know warmth so we we we we roughed it until about four in the morning and we were all just freezing so we got up and
got in the car and uh drove on we were on a kind of a schedule tight schedule anyway so we couldn't stay too long but we drove on that morning to uh Las Vegas so i think that was probably my last uh
true camping experience
yeah well well whenever i mention camping anymore to my husband he says i'm too old for this he says i i like my luxuries anymore but i think i'd still like to you know do a little camping that
like i say i it brings back memories of my real young years and uh
yeah
he said he'd lived on a farm too long and that was too much like camping anyway true camping
well this time of year it's gets really beautiful down the springtime in Georgia with all the dogwoods and
i bet
there's all kinds of
it's real north there's really some real beautiful spots to to hike and stuff in north Georgia you know up in the kind of getting up the mountainous
you know the the
uh-huh well i know when the leaves change there too would be a pretty time except you can't really depend on your weather
yeah it sure is
that's true like today it's it's pouring it it takes the leaves around here i mean it's beautiful when they uh when they change it it seems like it happens so fast that if you don't get there at the right time you're gonna miss everything
um-hum
and the first year we came up there the leaves were changing and since then we've been coming about a week or so too early but uh i would think that that would be a really nice place for camping
yeah
they're getting
they're getting started early this year i'll tell you that much the so the dogwoods are already starting to bloom
have they oh well that is really nice
well i'm sure there are a lot of camping places around here but we get so wrapped up in everyday life we don't get take time to
go out and enjoy them um
in the spring when the bluebonnets
are pretty here i think that's our biggest deal there's just fields of bluebonnets and
um-hum
that'd be nice
what we call Indian paint brushes it's it's really nice
i haven't been through that part of the country so i don't really know what i don't really know what it's like over there
mostly nothing
