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?

Wishing I was there now!

The closer it gets to the campout the more I want to get out of Morgantown. I am so looking forward to it this year. It will be a wonderful break from school and all the regular places that I am stuck in all the time. I can't wait to get out in the fresh air, sit by a fire, "legally" drink, have Gene's awesome breakfasts... :-) ...and just hang out with friends. And now talking about this has made the wanting to be there now even stronger. Can't wait to see you all.

The Cool Down

I was thinking about how after breakfast the sun started to get really hot and we loaded up the vehicles and went to the waterfall. Nope, not the famous one....the one that belongs to just us. Jeremy rode with me and we downed cold beer to and from the falls. Well, truth be told, we also had more than a few tasty beverages while there. Remember how cool it was there. What a great retreat in the middle of the day. The gradient is unbelievable as you look down stream. I wonder how many feet it drops per mile. I like throwing rocks from that one boulder and see how far it will go or try to hit sticks after I sail them downstream.

The mountains are calling

Amidst the muck of mid-late winter weather, here in Morgantown we had a few days of gorgeous blue skies and warm temperatures (not today though - it's sleeting right now). In about 80 days we'll be enjoying the warmth and beauty of late May in Davis, WV, with beer, music, and camaraderie.

And soggy shoes.

Next weekend the Pittsburgh Symphony is reading my piece, but believe me, I'd rather be camping than locked up in some stuffy concert hall.

See y'all.
