Campsite 22: part i

20 August 2009

You go camping with little kids because they get excited about anything furry that moves (always identified as a "prairie dog"),and they remind you just how exciting very large rocks are, "Look there's a big rock!"

Also, little children are actually excited to learn such obscure facts as: Wildflowers at 9,500 ft must generate enough heat to melt the snow around them in the early spring to compensate for the short growing season.

Also, little children take naps in the afternoon, so you don't actually have to entertain them in the wild all day long.

Also, you go camping with little kids because, no matter the company, camping in the Rockies is stunningly beautiful.
