camping hiking, coleman tentI got a call from a friend on Monday who basically said they are going camping hiking and shooting in a desert about two hours east of the city and I was coming along. Not really knowing what to say I agreed but on the condition that I could get work off. It turns out after a scheduling conflict I couldn’t go along with them and in turn solemnly put the Coleman tent back in the closet. At this point, I didn’t have the heart to tell him. Fast forward to this morning and the weather report is forecasting heavy rain on Saturday, the day they are all leaving. It looks like on account of Mother Nature there isn’t going to be any camping hiking or shooting.

Being caught in a rainstorm can be fun while out in the woods or desert but more times then not it just slops the scene up and is especially terrible without a rain jacket or change of clothes. There is nothing like being consistently damp for 24 hours straight. Looks like me buddy will never have to know I couldn’t have gone along in the first place, after all I have the Coleman tent.
