Bears, beans, and baths in a river. Yes, these are just a few things written about in this family's collection. Imagine wanting to publish stories on some fun and not so fun camping adventures. Then add to this, other members of your family also camp and have travel experiences that you were just dying for them to write about to add to this book.
After many reminders that time was getting away from them, finally...all six children, her sister, husband, mother, and a future daughter-in-law responded to Christie's request for a story. Slowly, in they came. The emails filled with their renderings of outdoor adventures. Several are hilarious; others are more reflective of times spent in nature. Whether you are like her oldest daughter, who hates camping, or you love it. From close encounters with wildlife, life and death circumstances, getting rescued rangers and taken out by helicopter, lost, auto breakdown in the campground, everything going wrong, explosion at the campsite, finding sea glass, one-week stinky bodies, and a narrow escape along a hiking trail.
Some story titles: A Beary Scary Night, Once and Never Again, The Great Shady Lake Detour, Chasing Freedom, Heading South: Kodiak, The Cliffside Scare: A Secret from Lake Superior, A Crumby Night, Camping on Horseback, An Arkansas Mini-Adventure, Hill Country Adventures, To the Center of the Universe, A Camping Misadventure and Bear Tracks.
This book is a real page turner that will entertain the whole family.
