{F Uh, } it seems like an unusual subject this time of the year /{C but, } {F uh, } [ it's, + it's ] camping. /

[1425]

Really. /When was the last time you went? /

[1469]

The last time I went camping was about, {F uh, } in the middle of October, /{C 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? /

[1425]

{D Well, } I haven't been in probably about three years. /

[1469]

Uh-huh. /

[1425]

{C And } the last time we went was in, {F um, } {D well, } I guess [ it was, + it was ] {D like } hunting season, /{C and } we went down to {D like } a hunting ground and a lake --

[1469]

Uh-huh. /

[1425]

-- Lake Sam Rayburn --

[1469]

Yes, {F oh, } /

[1425]

-- which is in East Texas. /

[1469]

Very good. /I bet it's pretty over there. /

[1425]

It is real pretty. /{F Um, } let's see. -/

[1469]

# What do you think, what kind of # --

[1425]

# Do you do a lot of fishing? # /

[1469]

-- camping, {F uh, } are you talking about? /Do you go out, /{C and } is camping for you in a motor home, or a trailer, /{C or } do you actually put up a tent /{C or, } -/

[1425]

One of the ones that you pull along -- /

[1469]

{F Oh, } okay, /{C so } you have, -/

[1425]

-- {C and } [ then pop-u-, + ] is it pop-up? /

[1469]

Yeah. /

[1425]

Pop-up. /

[1469]

A pop-up trailer, huh. /

[1425]

Yeah. /What do you have? /

[1469]

We have a tent. /

[1425]

A tent? /

[1469]

Yes . /{C So } I guess we really rough it. /

[1425]

Really. /

[1469]

{C And } we really enjoy that. /{F Uh, } one thing, {F uh, } I've done all sorts of camping. /[ I've, + I've ] camped, {F uh, } in the snow on a glacier. /I've camped, {F uh, } basically almost anywhere, even to the 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. /

[1425]

{C So } you're a serious camper. /

[1469]

{D Well, } we enjoy it, yeah. /{C But } since I've been married and with a family, {F uh, } we have to go where there's restrooms .

[1425]

{D Well, } that makes sense. /

[1469]

And playgrounds, and so forth, /{C so, } we really enjoy it. /{C But } also while I was growing up, we did have a trailer, /{C and, } {F uh, } I camped in that trailer and in a tent and [ in, + in ] log cabins and so forth too. /So a lot of different things. /{C And } yes, /I, - /to answer your questions earlier, {D yes, } [ I, + ] we do enjoy fishing, /{C and } I do go fishing. /Haven't done a whole lot down here. /We recently moved from the Rocky Mountain area up in, {F uh, } northern Utah down to here because of work, and, {F uh, } haven't been able to enjoy fishing like I used to up there, which is, {F uh, } clear water fishing and streams [ and, + and ] rivers. /

[1425]

{C But } when you all went camping is that what you normally, {E I mean, } - /what did you normally do? /

[1469]

We normally, {D yeah, } - /[ we did, + we did ] a lot of the fishing, /{C but } mainly what we did was we did a lot of hiking and exploring [ and, + and ] just going out and seeing what there was to see, {F uh, } in the area. /

[1425]

I guess probably just wherever you live at has a lot to do with [ where, + ] what you're going to do when you go, /{C and } you do actually camp. /

[1469]

{F Oh, } yes. /That's true, /that's true. /

[1425]

Did you ever {D like } travel around to what's that, the little [ K O, + K O A ] camps whenever -- -/

[1469]

we --

[1425]

-- ever done that? /

[1469]

-- never did that. /They - /although I've stayed in K O A campgrounds, {F uh, } we've never done that just to go around and camp. /{F Um, } personally, [ I, when I, + ] when we were growing up and when we were going camping, I thought that was a little too structured of a camp ground. /

[1425]

Yeah. /

[1469]

{F Um, } {D you know, } that was mainly for people in motor homes [ or, + or ] had trailers [ or, + ] and so on and so forth, where, {D you know, } we really wanted to go camping in a tent -- /

[1425]

Uh-huh. /

[1469]

-- {C and, } {F uh, } K O A [ is, + is ] geared for the people that have a # hookup. # /

[1425]

# That actually # travel, what, city to city, state to state. /

[1469]

Right, /exactly, /{C and, } {F uh, } I started out basically camping [ when I was, + when I was ] in Boy Scouts, /{C and } we did an awful lot of that [ as, + as ] a Boy Scout group. /As I mentioned earlier, we went into wilderness areas /{C and } we camped in the snow, and in, {F uh, } snow caves, /[ {C and, } + {C and, } ] {F uh, } -/

[1425]

That's probably where I first started, was in Girl Scouts. /

[1469]

All right. /{C And } you got a lot of that in, huh? /

[1425]

Yeah /.

[1469]

What do you like to do when you go camping? /

[1425]

{F Um, } {D well, } let's see. [ I just, + {E I mean, } I just ] like to go /{C and, } normally I go with a whole group of friends -- /

[1469]

Uh-huh. /

[1425]

-- {C and } we just kind of go and hang out and just do fun stuff. /

[1469]

Enjoy it, huh . /

[1425]

Roast marshmallows. /

[1469]

Tell scary, or scary stories around the fire /{C and, } -/

[1425]

Yeah, /or, {F um, } take a deck of cards if we can actually see and, {F um, } play cards and stuff. /

[1469]

{F Oh, } yeah. /{D You know, } [ lots, + a lot ] of people I've talked to have said, {D well, } isn't camping boring? /[ Don't you get, + don't you, {F uh, } get ] bored and not have anything to do, /{C but } I've found out that actually [ we, + we ] really enjoy getting away from the television, the telephone -- /

[1425]

Yeah, /it's relaxing. /

[1469]

-- {C and, } yes. /Exactly. /Get out, - /getting out and enjoying nature and each other as company when we're out camping. /

[1425]

{C Plus, } you, {F um, } - /kind of makes you appreciate [ some, + ] a lot of the things you take for granted. /

[1469]

Yeah /.
