We spent the long Memorial Day weekend as we usually do, camping. From Friday night to Monday afternoon there were no computers, no video games, and no internet (self-imposed BlackBerry ban). We camped at the O’Bannon Woods State Park in Indiana, which is on the Ohio River a little west of Louisville. The weather was really hot and humid, with no breeze for relief, so we did more relaxing and less hiking than usual; which isn’t all bad.
Along with Dave, Christian, Nigel, and Mark the two sites we had were pretty packed. All together there were 4 tents, two screened shelters, and 7 coolers! We played hours of dominoes, made some great meals, and enjoyed countless beers.
It’s funny, the Aztek is approaching ten years old, but it still gets as many comments from other campers as ever (favorable, thank you very much). I can’t count how many kids stopped and said “wow, cool, there’s a tent on their car!” and one adult stopped and mentioned that she was bringing over everyone in their group to see. I might just have to keep this car running for several years to come. At this point we’re too spoiled to sleep on the ground and still too young to graduate to an RV.
