Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Holly: Mom is SERIOUS about all of us going to some mildewy cabin in the woods?? Phil: Lake Mossyrock. Holly: Emphasis on mossy. Phil: It could be nice... Holly: NICE is a hotel. With a pool. Near the beach. Phil: That DOES sound nice. Holly: MOM?! Phil hates your idea as much as I do! Phil: I never said HATE. Val: You're supposed to be on my side!!

Some enjoy camping, and are not trying to save money. I know I’d rather be in the mountains (and I live there) than on a beach. Waay too much water as far as I’m concerned…

Holly knows how to work Phil. For a hotel mattress is too hard and with public coming in too noisy. Yet I do not care about sleeping outside. So hotel will have to work with nice warm shower.

So Val copied Roger Fox’ idea about going to Skeeter Falls (remember how THAT turned out — lots of mosquito-bites, and bear destroying Foxes’ cooler and food-supplies).

I feel sorry for those of you opting for the hotel & beds. You’ve probably:• Never really seen the milky way in all its glory• Never experienced a moonless night with starlight so bright you could read a newspaper.• Never breathed truly fresh air with maybe jut the smell of new pine needles• Never seen wildlife in a natural setting• never gone to sleep with only the sound of a mountain creekAnd so many other things that can only be experienced far away from human infrastructure
