We usually get going right after I get home from work and can be there in 30 minutes and get set up. I do the outside stuff and she does the inside. Then if we are cooking supper I get some Kingsford going and cook supper. Afterwards I get a campfire going, and we set outside and watch the others come and go. I usually have a campfire going even though it might be over 100 deg. Wifey just shakes her head....but its getting so she will ask me if I'm going to lite one or not. I always like to hear the forecast before lighting one. (wind)
The next morning I walk our site and pick up all the trash that others leave. Sometimes my ADD kicks in and I pickup several sites depending if we have neighbors or not........
I like to watch the night sky, I haven't brought my telescope yet but might this summer. Our camp ground is quite shady so I would have to go down to the water edge or go to the "tent loop". We watched several meteor showers last summer and will do so this summer. I'm taking a class in astronomy right now so I have the bug to watch the sky
Otherwise we read, shoot flies, walk the dog, tinker, watch movies, may start fishing again, cook, make coffee and cook breakfast outside, Dutch oven stuff, neighbor around, drink barley pops, converse with our good friends the camp host, watch tv, sit in the AC, piddle, nod off/sleep, swim, talk with fellow Cardinal owners, watch the setting sun, take movie/pictures, build bonfires and just take it easy.
Once or twice during the summer my brothers and I get all three campers together and we have a weekend with the family. We all do Dutch oven cooking so there is a abundance of food!
