Well camping is alot of work but it is so nice to just get away and relax by the fire. breath in that fresh mountain air and a little campfire smoke. We got to go camping a few days before the kids left for school. and it was fun. We mostly sat around, played some cards , ate and went fishing. speaking of fishing, i bet you didn't know that Dora the explorer was a fine fisherman. Actually the GUYS were going fishing and i wanted to go to so Josh thought he was being funny and gave me Sam's Dora fishing pole. he cut the little play bobber off and put on a real hook. of course the pole is only about 2 and a half feet long but i went fishing and guess what, after about the third cast i reeled in a keeper, a 10 inch brook trout. I was so excited i was screaming and Josh didn't believe me at first. We cooked it up and i ate it, it was quit tasty.So now you know that the size of the pole doesn't matter.
