Camping with the Northslopegang part 1




Dad we want to go camping. How long has it been since we went to the northslope? Too long says the mother. The 4-wheeler is broken, should we rent one? No, says the Dad it costs too much. Dad tells us that his co-worker has offered to let us use theirs. Nice co-worker. The northslope gang packs up the 4-wheelers, camping gear and heads out on Thursday to enjoy a weekend together. Our favorite spot is available and we begin to set up camp. No trailer this time. Grab the tents. Dad, please take the porta potty. Dad consents and the women have some luxury in the mountains. Dad it looks like it might rain. Gather the tarps family, we need some protection from the weather. Dad I think we need protection from Duncan. He is flashing his stomach. Blake, pose for posterity. Mom put the camera away. But Blake the light is perfect for pictures. Mom we are sick and tired of you always telling us that the lighting is perfect for a picture. Mom gets her way and click goes the camera button.

You have your own porta-potty?

Yes and it's not the same "john" you see out on the road. IT is a very small version but workable.

I know about the camera thing. My family calls me the "paparazzi!" Keep taking those photos, even through the complaining. They'll thank you when they're old.
