Thread Name: BS: Black Bird Singing in the Dead of Night
Subject: RE: BS: Black Bird Singing in the Dead of Night
Once went camping on the C&O Canal (runs along the Potomac River from DC to Frederick MD) with the Boy Scouts. One of the points of the trip was to try new and/or unusual camping methods. Since the weather was warm we thought why not? and tried camping in hammocks among the trees. I and the others tried laying the sleeping bags in the hammocks and then trying to crawl into them, and then tried getting in the bag first and then getting in the hammock. Whichever way we experienced and observed some of the funniest gymnastics routines never seen on TV. Usually they ended up with the participant on the ground below the hammock. We were laughing so hard and long into the night that the Scout Masters nearly threw us out. I know it's thread creep but the birds didn't get any sleep that night and couldn't be heard over the laughter.
