Swimming while camping with friends.

I've posted a few posts about water before, but when I get on a roll talking about a topic I can have several posts that revolve around the same general thing. This might be my last post on water for a while. However, this post will have the majority of water, but it'll also be about my friends and I camping. Music is also something I've been posting a bit about. And a bit of both together. That also will have one more post than I might move onto something else. It's getting to be winter, so I'll probably do some posts on snow sometime soon. So, here I am, talking about swimming while camping with friends or wearing wet cloths around a campfire which is the first title I had before I change it to encompass a little bit more. I actually got the idea to talk a little about this from a different post I made at one point. I have taken several different types of vacations, one of them being camping. Before hand, I've talked about being caught in the rain and other incidents regarding water that sound like disasters. This one won't sound like that, I knew what I was getting myself into. It was summer, and me and some of my friends were staying at a cabin with a lake. We wanted the one with a lake, but we didn't realize that was the one we would get. We thought it was taken and we were going to be nowhere near there. So we arrived at our cabin and noticed the lake that was next to it. After being happy that we ended up with the lake after all, we realized that we had a

problem. We weren't expecting to go swimming so we hadn't packed any bikini's or swimwear. After we unpacked I thought about it, and decided I wasn't going to let something get in the way of me swimming, if my friends wanted to join me, that would be completely up to them. 10 minutes later, I ran down the dock and dived into the warm water in my tanktop and shorts. A first friend just dived right in after me, she was wearing I little more than I was. The second friend, took off a pair of short overalls she was wearing, before diving in, herself. A few of my other friends were a little more hesitant, one of them told me that she would rather keep her clothes dry, another seemed to avoid it by saying there was something else she'd rather be doing to enjoy herself. I don't blame them, they're not me (I like my swimming, and apparently so do some of my friends) and I wouldn't want to force them to do something they didn't want to do, though I wondered who would back out and who wouldn't. Around 4 or 5, my friends and I who were in the water got out and I started a campfire. Once it was roaring, we all sat around it to dry off. I accept my clothes being wet like this a lot more easily when, I'm not wearing much of it (and nothing formal) and I can easily dry off, like I am here, without having to actually take the clothes off. After we were dry, we roasted marshmallows, and sung while I played the guitar. Naturally I sung some John Denver songs, but we sung a few from a few other artists. The second day consisted of going to a few restaurants, going on a tour and relaxing. The third day was pretty close the the first day, only without the traveling part. Our last day, we left at about 11 in the morning just after having breakfast and packing up. So we stayed at there for 3 days I think. No, 3 nights. It was 4 daysish. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night, and we left on Monday. I had a good time there, and I think all my friends did too. When I left I didn't leave with any regrets. That could be the end of this topic. See you next time with: some snow post.

Rain

It rained where I am recently, so I thought I might as well do a post on it. When I say it rained, I mean it pour. It was a torrential down pour. There was small ponds cropping up all over the place and there was a spot out side of my side door that must have been a foot deep and going several feet in more than one direction. My house is in a bowl and I don't think the ground absorbs water very well so even not too much rain can cause flooding for me. Anyways, I like bathing and I like swimming so I don't mind a little rain. It's when it gets to the point were my sneckers would be ruined within 5 minutes because they would be fully underwater is the problem. I was going to get my mail with all this water outside, which was a problem. So I, quite literally, put on my bikini to go down to get my mail. And I put on a pair of purple boots. By the way, my mail is on the other side of the street I'm on. So, I open the door and step outside. The water was so deep that it went over my boots and filled them up. I wish I had taken my socks off before going outside. When I got back in my socks were r e a l l y hard to get off because they were so wet. Well I went down my driveway and crossed the road, no cars went by on my way down. I check the mail. I have several messages. However, I don't want to take them out because they'ld get ruined in the rain so I decided maybe I should get them tomarrow. I shut the mail box and grab my paper "The Denver Post" which is in a plastic bag. I thought about how I was getting the paper so it wasn't a complete waist of trip. Just than a big truck drove by a splashed me with a large wave of water which almost knocked me over. Although the water didn't make me any wetter as I was already drenched. At least this is the summer so the atmosphere was warm and the water wasn't fridged. I was wearing my bikini so the water wasn't too bad. Though, I was slightly annoyed that my boots weren't doing anything because the water had gone over my them and then they were full. My driveway wasn't holding any water because that piece of my yard is sort of flat and not a hole. I recrossed the room and went inside. I dropped the paper on the ground. I opened the door and took off both my boots and dumped the water outside. I shut the door. As I mentioned early, I had to fight really hard to get my socks off. Then I took off my bikini and through it in the laundry. Well, rain isn't too much of a problem for me, but I can have too much of it. But going down to get my mail gave me a free shower. Who can beat that?
