Camping Anyone??

Posted on March 1, 2013 by onespoiledcat

Happy Friday! MARCH MADNESS BEGINS!

I know that I’ve kind of been teasing around a bit mentioning this possible camping trip I was thinking of organizing. Well today I thought I’d borrow that private jet I have access to and check out a few possible locations for a camping adventure.

I’m thinking we won’t be actually DOING the camping trip for several more weeks – give the weather a chance to improve and a lot of the other activities that are going on in the blogosphere to calm down (if there is such a thing as CALM in the blogging world….HAHAHA).

How about doing me a favor and checking out the spots I visited and let me know which would be your chosen location for a camp out. OK?

OPTION #1 – Deep Woods Camping Adventure (complete with bugs, and assorted wildlife)

Bring the bug spray…..

OPTION #2 – The Hills Are Alive With The Sound of Camping

Wide open spaces! No air pollution!

OPTION #3 – Beach Blanket PAR-TAY Camping

Beach PAR-TAY….!

Obviously a wide range of venues – but I’d like to know how you feel about where we pitch our tents. I’m thinking of a few activities to have during our camping trip – like for instance a campfire scary story telling contest.

So, let me know if you’re interested in a camping trip AND if so, WHERE would you like to go camping????? Option 1, 2 or 3???????

Happy FRIDAY Kids!

Kitty Hugs, Sammy the Camp Counselor

  Hi Mollie! So you prefer the woods and bugs and shade huh? Well, you live close to a beach so I can see why you might like to be in the shade of the big old trees for a “break” !

The beach fur shore!!! No itchy bugs for me, thank you very much. But the hills are kinda nice too: that would be my second choice.
This sounds like fun – can you and I pitch our tents beside each other, huh???

Hmm, Cocco is worse than a scaredy cat. He’s a scaredy pig! He thinks the open space would be safer though he’d prefer the buggy scene if someone vows to protect him. His piggy scent sure is appealing to bears, mountain lions and wolves! He might even be willing to take the risk since he imagines there will be lots and lots of fruits and wild vegetables to eat 🙂

Oink oink,

  Well you can tell Cocco that ALL of us would keep an eye out for him on the camping trip. I bet he’d love turning over rocks and old wood looking for “stuff” to munch on….he’d make a good “supplies” collector – finding fruit and veggies for us to have for snacks. Cocco would have lots of guardians if he wants to come along – trust me on that!!

I like deep woods…imagine a camp fire, mousemallows and scary stories in a deep wood where the trees are looking like monsters by night. But finally every place is right if you are with your friends ;o)

  Oh Easy I like the way you think! Mousemallows huh? Gosh that sounds good – roasting them on a stick over the bonfire….scary stories….EEEEEK! However you are totally right – any place is perfect when you’re surrounded by your buddies. I’ll give folks a little more time to decide about their favorite location then we can start planning!!

Dearest Sammy
Mes goes for real camping all the time (well not much in the last 3 years- Mommy and Daddy has been doing the farm market in the summer) and my pursonal favorite is the beach! All that sand to dig! Fishes, crabs to chase, birds, tidal pools! Cabana boys!
Me is voting for the BEACH!!!!

Meower-Howdy Sammy I would chose either the beach partay or the wide open spaces…the RV thing or camping thing sounds nice as Mom has mentioned it to me too but….there are flies and bugs and it totally freaks me out when Mom decided to swat at them as she is not good at getting them…totally freaks me out…geez I am trying to relax and psycho Mom goes swatting and missing bugs! It is not relaxing at all! But at the beach she relaxes and I can lay around and look at the waves with her and all is nice and cozy….and wide open spaces….well if you have to camp out in the wide open, there is the sticker issue and also bugs too. I know since we live out there…but I don’t go outside here as there are also coyotes so Mom and Dad keep me in my house.
I like all your hats…you are such a super star:) Big Kitty loves and Mom says Hi too and send hugs and luvs…she does that really good:) Luv, Minnie

  Hi Minnie……I’m thinking we might have to find a spot where there’s woods AND a beach nearby. Right now everybody’s kind of torn between the two as a location for “Camp Sammy” !!
  
  Stay tuned Minnie!

Just adding my advice – beach says party like nothing else. It is normally a little easier to sneak away or catch up if you are leaving early or arriving to the party late – easier compared to deep woods camping I mean.
