[speaker001:] uh it seems like an unusual subject this time of the year but uh it's it's camping
[speaker002:] really when was the last time you went
[speaker001:] the last time I went camping was about uh in the middle of October and we went up to Lake Bonham and really enjoyed it had a real good time with the family we do an awful lot of camping how about yourself
[speaker002:] well I haven't been in probably about three years and the last time we went was in um well I guess it was it was like hunting season and we went down to like a hunting ground and a lake Lake Sam Rayburn
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh yes oh
[speaker002:] which is in East Texas
[speaker001:] very good I bet it's pretty over there
[speaker002:] it is real pretty um let's see do you do a lot of fishing and
[speaker001:] what do you think what kind of camping uh are you talking about do you go out and is camping for you in a motor home or a trailer or do you actually put up a tent the whole bit
[speaker002:] one of the ones that you pull along and then pop up is it pop up
[speaker001:] oh okay so you have yeah
[speaker002:] pop up
[speaker001:] a pop up trailer huh how fun we have a tent
[speaker002:] yeah what do you have a tent
[speaker001:] yes so I guess we really rough it
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] and we really enjoy that uh one thing uh I've done all sorts of camping I've I've camped uh in the snow on a glacier I've camped uh basically almost anywhere even to a point where we've had to backpack in and everything you carried in was what you had to use to sustain you for that that camping trip and had to pack it back out
[speaker002:] so you're a serious camper
[speaker001:] well we enjoy it yeah but since I've been married and with a family uh we have to go where there's restrooms and playgrounds and so forth so
[speaker002:] well that makes sense
[speaker001:] we really enjoy it but also while I was growing up we did have a trailer and uh I've camped in in a trailer and in a tent and in in log cabins and so forth too so a lot of different things and yes I to answer your questions earlier yes I we do enjoy fishing and I do go fishing haven't done a whole lot down here we recently moved from the Rocky Mountain area up in uh northern Utah down to here because of work and uh haven't been able to enjoy fishing like I used to up there which which is uh clear water fishing and streams and and rivers uh
[speaker002:] but when y'all went camping is that what you normally I mean what did you normally do
[speaker001:] we normally yeah we did we did a lot of fishing but mainly what we did is we did a lot of hiking and exploring and just going out and seeing what there was to see uh in the area
[speaker002:] I guess probably just where ever you live at then has a lot to do with where what you're gonna do when you go and you do actually camp
[speaker001:] oh yes that's true that's true and
[speaker002:] did you ever like travel around to what's that the little KO KOA KOA camps whenever you ever done that
[speaker001:] no we never did that they although I've stayed in KOA campgrounds uh we've never done that just to go around and camp um personally I when I when we were growing up and when we were uh going camping I thought that was little too structured of a camp ground
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] um you know that was mainly for people in motor homes or or had trailers or so and so on and so forth where you know we really wanted to go camping in a tent and uh KOA is is is geared for the people that have a hook up
[speaker002:] um hum they actually travel from what city to city state to state
[speaker001:] right exactly and uh I started out basically camping when I was when I was in Boy Scouts and we did an awful lot of that as as a Boy Scout group as I mentioned earlier we went into wilderness areas and we camped in the snow in in uh snow caves and
[speaker002:] that's probably where I first started was in Girl Scouts
[speaker001:] and uh all right and you got a lot of that in huh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] what do you like to do when you go camping
[speaker002:] um well let's see I just I mean I just like to go and normally normally I go with a whole group of friends and we just kind of go and hang out and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] just do fun stuff roast marshmallows
[speaker001:] enjoy it huh tell scaries or scary stories around the fire and and so on
[speaker002:] yeah or um take a deck of cards if we if we can actually see and um play cards and stuff
[speaker001:] oh yeah you know that uh lot a lot of people I've talked to have said well isn't camping boring don't you get well don't you uh get bored and not have anything to do but I've found out that actually we we really enjoy getting away from the television the telephone
[speaker002:] yeah it's relaxing
[speaker001:] and yes exactly get out getting out and enjoying nature and each each other's uh company when we're out camping
[speaker002:] plus you um kind of makes you appreciate some lot of the things you take for granted
[speaker001:] yeah like like
[speaker002:] running water your hair dryer curling iron
[speaker001:] running water and a and a private bathroom and yes
[speaker002:] well what about your family do your kids and everything like to
[speaker001:] yes they really do they have a great time and like I mentioned uh the we've we've been been camping a couple of times this year and the last time was in October and we went up to Lake Bonham and there is a playground for them and so they have swings and they have slides
