B_and_D, that slick, wet clay was just like ice. If our car came to a complete stop, it was hard to get enough traction to move forward again. I did tell her to keep our car moving forward while I ran along behind it. That bold little mouse just ran up inside her straight-bottom blue jeans. My wife, who is a trouper, didn't scream at all but just shook her leg until it fell out.
When I was young, I camped on beaches, in the desert and in the mountains - sometimes shivering at night because I wasn't cocooned inside of a warm sleeping bag. These days we certainly are spoiled camping inside our climate-controlled trailers with kitchenettes, flush toilets, showers, and real beds - but most of us wouldn't have it any other way!
