I like to say things like this shouldn’t happen, but they do, all to often. Hine sight is fortunate thing, if you live to enjoy it. That feeling of I wish I hadn’t done that. But I would have to say—- Cotton Lake is not exactly like being stranded in the wilderness, it’s like, what? a two mile walk to the main highway. How do you get stranded there for a week —– unless—- you want to be!!!!

I remember camping one time with some buddies when we we’re teenagers.Of course there was alot of beer involved. Everthing was going fine till it was time to go to sleep thats when the skeeters decided to attack, they were so bad we had to pull our sleeping bags over our heads this was during summer vacation so just imagine how hot it was.Well about that time it started to rain,not just a little a lot ,no tent we were ruffing it. We decided to pile up in the truck.To late Charles had already beat us to it earlier in the evening and had gotten so comfortable he pulled his shoes off.Better to take our chances in the rain than deal with that funk.No place left to go but under the truck,not to bad as long as you laid perfectly still ,if you didnt you would knock dirt in your eyes.About the time we finally dosed off ,you guessed it the skeeters found us all over again.We laughed so much that night our stomachs hurt the next day.Well I quit drinking years ago,haven’t done alot of camping either but its funny how such a miserable night can be remembered so fondly.

Rick,
Ain’t nothing like setting round a campfire, eaten Bennie weenies, drinking coffee from the worm can, cause that’s all you had, fight-en skeeters with that whipper will off in the distance, sleeping on the cold hard ground. Now that’s live my friend.
