No but I certainly HEARD one or two of them loose in our tent.
Brian and Ed didn’t believe me that there were bears out there. They SCOFFED at me when I suggested it would be prudent to hang our garbage and food (so the bears don’t get it) But alas, they thought I was crazy. I may be crazy but bears do live out there and they do like marshmallows. And I have one small comment about our friend Ed. And that’s this:
Ed: Can we roast marshmallows?
Snpnts: We can’t build a campfire Ed. There’s a burn-ban in effect.
Ed: So we can’t roast marshmallows?
Snpnts: Well, I guess we could roast them over the gas stove.
Ed: Okay great!
So what do we use to roast them with?
Snpnts: With a STICK Ed. We’re in a frickin’ FOREST Ed. Go find a STICK.
(turning to Brian) Can you please take him to find a stick before I kill him? (more…)
