Ways of the Prehistoric at Jester Park

June 17th, 2006

The crew went camping at Jester Park, one of the many camp areas surrounding Saylorville Lake.? It was pretty hot, but a lot of fun.? We had to deal with bugs, heat, entertainment, cooking, and sun in the morning.? We felt like true survivalists, struggling to be self dependant and stay alive.? No, not exactly.? We all brought food from home, listened to? MP3’s and satellite radio,? fogged the area for bugs, and stayed connected with everyone else via cell phones.? But still it was an adventure.

Morning Camp

Hung-over and tired, we wake up when the sun comes up.? Not because we’re morning people, but because tents have minimum ability to block sunlight and the resulting heat.? The green shelter with the screens helped keep bugs away while we ate.? The flys and mosquitos are real thick out there, and they are much more pesky than in the city.? Bugs are usually more active at sunrise and sunset.
