Sleeping with the Bears

I don't know if anyone else goes through this around this time of year, around this type of weather, but its always like clock work for me, the need and want to camp. I guess it has alot to do with liking camping in the first place... but really, who doesn't? I guess you can not like the bugs and the dirt and all the other things that come hand in hand with being in the great out doors. But i guess thats the charm for me. Normally, im clean organized and planned individual, but i guess thats why i like camping, the dirt and bugs and dirt are gonna get you no matter what. But like i was saying, this time of year, when the sun is out, the snow is melting, and its starting to get ever so slightly warm, the urge takes control. I know exactly what im doing with my summer reading week, going to Algonquin with Tia, however, im horribly afraid of being eaten, mauled and raped by bears; Tia assures me it wont happen... but she is a hippy... whom i love very much =) I guess this means fixing the hole in my canoe as soon as possible. Heres to the sun killing the snow! cheers!
