Another day draws to a close and my mind returns to this weekend spent in a crowded tent in the rain in the middle of nowhere. Anna's family had their yearly family reunion near State College, PA. Her family had camped in a near by state park for the weekend before they journey up to New Hampershire. We arrived just in time to enjoy the five star dinner of steak, hamburgers, and potatoes all cooked over the open fire. The rest of the evening was spent socializing by the fire and erecting our little tent. As we brush our teeth under an old spicket, we felt the soft touch of rain gently falling through the trees. Everyone who lives in the chaos of modern city life should enjoy the pleasure of a night spent in tent under the gentle rain. Hopefully, it wont take me another 23 years before I enjoy another night like that one.
