This Weekend pt. II

Another camping post, this one written on Sunday morning.

"Trying to sleep - it sucks.
[while camping that is]

First there are the outside noises. Crickets, cicadas, owls, other bugs, and other birds screeching, hooting, and buzzing all through the night.

Then there is the cold. No matter if it was 90 during the day, when you're camping by a lake it gets cold at night. We're talking 45-50 (F) which might not be too bad, except you're sleeping on an air mattress. See, when you sleep on an regular mattress it absorbs your body heat a bit. When you sleep on an AIR mattress the air inside is at the same temp as the air outside. Meaning you're practically laying on a piece of ice... *shivers*

Also - there's the rain. Now sometimes rain is good. It's soothing and it drowns out the other noise. But it is also annoying-

Coals are really cool

ANYWAY rain is annoying because it's loud and it makes you worry.

Lastly - you just don't get any sleep. Once all these factors add up, it turns out that you wake up a lot, and when you do finally fall asleep you sleep awfully!

-I LOVE JELL!

ok.
so.
Sleeping at camp = not great!
but the rest of it is worth it!

:D
