it reminds me of those people who pay 300,000 dollars to climb mount
everest. The price covers meals, oxygen tanks, and sherpas bringing
you hot tea into your tent while you are still in your sleeping bag.

jeez penny, you sound like my friend brenda. She has this big fancy
rig. I camped with her once and she kept insisting I come sleep
inside her fancy rig.

Okay. I confess. We have a camper, an oldie but goodie and if our grandson
is along, his mom sends wonderful food, including goodies that she hands us
as we leave the barn, just in case we get hungry on the way.

Let's face it - if we wanted to be 100% safe, we wouldn't be in

Thanks for the picture. I have not camped with horses since I was a
small child and I remember none of the details other than that I had
