We were invited to join a large group (~40) to go camping on the Rifle River for 4 days and 3 nights tent camping. After 9 years "camping out" with the Marines, I was not especially excited about this, but the people we're going with are fun and we have a neighbor who is letting us borrow his family's camping gear. It should be in the high 80's during the day and 6o's at night with no rain expected. We'll go on a 5.5hr inner tube trip down the river one day, then kayak/canoe it the next day.

Meals will be "communal" and Beth will take care of that and I get to set up the tent and gear. We will have electricity at the campsite and there are shower facilities provided. Since we have never camped as a family before, this will be interesting! We'll take Daisy and I'll take lots of pics. After all of the nasty stuff we've been dealing with (wife lost her teaching job last Friday), it will be good to get away for a few days!
