Camping at Hillsborough River State Park in Tampa, July 2-4

I love the smell of hot asphalt in the morning

We can do this another time..... Thanks for the heads up, I'll call Dave and Karen with the news.

I am really disappointed that I won't get to spend the Holiday with my camping friends, but lets make up for it in the fall when it cools off a little, OK?

Michelle and Steve,

Glad you all are okay with this. I agree that we should camp later in the year. I'll keep in touch...possible do a float trip on the Rainbow River.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry to hear that the weekend got cancelled. I had a good weekend with the grands for the 4th and my folks were here to see them all in the parade.

I just returned with the Inkwell from NC. Unfortunately, it wasn't a "pleasure" trip. My sister's husband committed suicide on the 6th. It's a horrible situation but thankfully Paul and I were able to go up there. Paul returned home on Sunday and I returned home today. I spent a few extra days helping my sister get the mounds of paperwork in order.

The only upside to this is that the Inkwell has now "camped" in my sister's yard, in NC. Plus it's cooler at night up there.
