Camping with President Theodore Roosevelt
Atlantic nline
The Canada jays or camp-robbers as they are often called soon found out our camp that afternoon and no sooner had the cook begun to throw out peelings and scraps and crusts than the jays began to carry them off not to eat as I observed but to hide them in the thicker branches of the spruce trees. How tame they were coming within three or four yards of one! Why this species of jay should everywhere be so familiar and all other kinds so wild is a puzzle. In the morning as we rode down the valley toward our next camping-place at Tower Falls a band of elk containing a hundred or more started along the side of the hill a few hundred yards away. I was some distance behind the rest of the party as usual when I saw the President wheel his horse off to the left and beckoning to me to follow start at a tearing pace on the trail of the fleeing elk. He afterwards told me that he wanted me to get good view of those elk at close range and he was afraid that if he sent the major or Hofer to lead me I would not get it. I hurried along as fast as I could which was not fast; the way was rough—logs rocks spring runs and a tenderfoot rider. Now and then the President looking back and seeing what slow progress I was making would beckon to me impatiently and I could fancy him saying "If I had a rope around him he would come faster than that!" nce or twice I lost sight of both him and the elk; the altitude was great and the horse was laboring like a steam engine on an up-grade.

The ups and downs of camping with tents
Carlisle Sentinel PA
I talked the floor manager at Sears into selling it to me for $10 less because it didn?t have a box and besides it was almost used because of all the people who walked in and out of it at the store. After a stint in the Air Force I used the GI Bill and a job selling campers and recreational vehicles to pay for college. During the few days I didn?t work we could take any of the rental units and go camping but Kerri and I preferred our Sears tent. For many years even after the children were born we still preferred the tent and primitive campgrounds. It was only after the children were grown we considered other means of camping settling on a small fully self-contained motorhome that seems to be quite economical getting around 12 miles per gallon pushing into a headwind. We?ve already made reservations at Caledonia and Poe Paddy campgrounds and we?ll probably camp a few other places on weekends around home with maybe a week-long trip somewhere else. The rest of the time it sits under the overshot at the barn.
