My Camping Experience
Fellow Toastmasters thank you for this opportunity to share my camping experience with you.
It is a kind of family tradition, my family and friends plan to do the camping every year at Olema campgrounds. For this year, the plan started about two month in advance and we were planning & talking about this in every family get together. I could not believe that day had finally come. As soon as I saw the entrance sign, a sudden tingling feeling bubbles through my body knowing that, I don’t have to look at the internet, email, bill payment. I don’t have to worry about the deliverable and deadlines. I don’t have to worry about car wash and shopping. I don’t have to worry about taking my child to tennis class and basketball class.
Although still it was evening, outside is very dark to drive in the deep wood. I was filled with thrill to drive about 45 min in the deep wood in winding road. Finally, I arrived the campground at dusk, little later than originally planned arrival time. Most of my friends they were already setup their tent and they were into other activities like preparing the dinner and setting campfire, etc. Few kids were playing hide and seek and others were getting ready go around campfire. My friends were awfully awaiting for our arrival, the moment we appeared in front them, they were relieved and rushed greet us, guided us to park our car. They rushed and helped me to setup the tent quickly. Once I finished putting up our tents, we started assemble in front of the campfire and we briefly discussed about their experience in reach the campground. I started tasting wine along with few friends, meantime the food is ready. The giggling and gossip was on for couple of hour. It is about 10:00 pm every one was getting ready for bed. Just few minutes after we turned off the lantern , we heard noise , I peeked out of and saw raccoon. All of us sat quietly and watched raccoon open the garbage dumpster and dump it out.
