CAMPING - CHOOSING THE
CAMPGROUND
That sleeping bag will feel
every pebble on the ground, so choose your sleeping quarters and
tent placement using a foxy eye. The flatter the ground, the better.
Level is lovely!
Also consider the direction
of the morning sun. When it wakes to peep up over the horizon, will
it also wake you before you'd like? If it's summertime, the tent
could heat up faster than a roman candle, even in the early morning
hours.
If you are camping close to
the water's edge, keep in mind that snakes, raccoons, badgers, deer
and rhinos may invade your campground. (Rhinos???)
If
you are camping in the Louisiana Bayous, Texas Gulf or Florida shores,
alligators love human bait. Exercise great caution for middle-of-the-night
powder room visits. Also be on the lookout for prominent PBS Cajun
cooks. You just never know what's going to pop in.
