Yeah. I did the camping thing when I was Girl Scout. Hated it, even then. And we stayed in fairly upscale "tents." All the tents were on permanent raised foundations, with rows of "cots" that were really just unstacked bunkbeds. We cooked together at a huge fire pit, which we also sat around roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories at night. But, there was another, huge tent structure that was the dining hall.

I lived in Florida at the time. So naturally, the camp was in the Everglades. 🙄 The air was practically water it was so humid. Imagine tramping on nature studies in that sweaty, sweltering swamp, through swarms of lovebugs and clouds of mosquitos. Something was always scrabbling, slithering, or screeching all around us all the fucking time — day and night!

Never again.
