And don't forget the cows to moo you to sleep. Which is all very soothing until one of them goes into labor ... Which is better than Macungie where we camp next to the tracks and the fast freights at 0230 hit their air horns about 50 feet from your pillow and the headlamp lights up the interior of the Billycoach... smile We learned important lesson -- never set up camp next to shiney railroad tracks ...

Another ODSS Camping Lesson ... In addition to the Winchester Cows and the Macungie Trains ... how can I leave out the South Bend Midnight Chainsaw revving contest which taught me never to bunk in the same enclosed space as Greg Muller* and Ted Truss* .... Sortta like the Macungie Trains only all night long .... It was so loud, Mike Reese decided sleeping in the three inches of water inside his tent was preferable to the Billy Coach that night ... wink

Or the Huntsville Generator from H E double hockey sticks that was so loud the guys on the International Space Station called Mike and asked him to shut it off until they were on the back side of the planet ...

*Names changed to protect the guilty

Sure! Camp with us. Memories to last a lifetime ... big_eek
