This morning, I did the zombie walk into kitchen to retrieve my half consumed propel fitness water. It was 7:00 a.m. and as I chugged the cold drink I looked out my back french doors and saw the USS Fleetwood asleep, dry docked. A good 5-6 inches of snow covered her deck. She was in her winter slumber and all closed up and frozen. Inside her frame I knew possessed year round items such as flashlights, firestarter, toilet paper, etc. But the most treasured cargo on the Fleetwood lay in the lazarette, always kept aft for easy access by the captain. The ships journal documenting all missions and thoughts of the crew is resting in the stern and waiting until the sails are raised once again to embark on the next journey. Until then, keep your powder dry and flint around your neck.
The Captain
A New Year the same wonderful location and wonderful people old and new!!!
Opening weekend will begin Thursday May the 27, 2010. We have only to endure a little more Winter till summer camping begins. I for one am having a tough time waiting. Therefore, to help endure this period of time I have created this blog site dedicated to all things about camping at our beloved property in Davis. Cooper Camp will be the same wonderful destination as always but there is hope that we will have new living quarters and maybe some new additions as well. The invite list for this years opening weekend will be increased but familiar faces will also be among the guests and hosts. Among the new faces will be my beloved dog Cicero an English Mastiff who like his buddies: Maggie, Lisel (spelling) and Veda (spelling). Dogs Campfires and Jer's strange Brew a yummy entree for your camping appetite. I Can't Wait can you?
