Camping
I have just returned from Lake Limestone where Karen and I spent the weekend. We went to a campground called Rainbow Ranch. http://www.rainbowranch.net/
It was really cool. We got in a canoe and paddled around for awhile. We had some trouble getting in the thing though. Karen was afraid of it tipping over as she got in so we left one end on the bank until she was in and then I pushed it most of the way off and then got in. Well, it didn't want to go because there was a sandbar about ten feet out. There were four men standing about 20 yards away, they just stood there. Two women who were fishing on a pier about 50 yards away came over to help push the canoe out.
It was cold last night and we slept in long-johns with a sleeping bag under us and a sheet, blanket, quilt, and comforter over us. It was still cold! It was awesome!
FYI - Never (and I mean NEVER) buy firewood at Walmart. We did. We got it when we got the other stuff we took, ya know, hot dogs and such. They had bundles of firewood outside so we got some there. Yep, Walmart sucks. The stuff wouldn't burn - I'm not kidding. We tried everything. The small stuff we gathered off the ground burned fine but the Walmart wood would not catch. We even tried soaking, yes soaking, it in lighter fluid. It would flare up for a few minutes and then within 10 minutes there were no flames and no smoke. Walmart sucks.
We had a really good time this weekend. I did some fishing but didn't catch anything. We are planning to spend spring break there.
