It's deer season, off to camp.
It's a very civilized camp compared to the first deer camp I went to close to 50 years ago.
That one was a former horse shed on the mountain between Rochester and Bethel with a dirt floor and a twoholer. It had a little woodstove and no mattresses or heat at all in the bunkroom. You had to have 4wd to drive the last mile. We had a great time there. Sometimes we shot a deer.
The one I go to now has all the comforts of home and real beds to sleep in. I'm bringing dessert and wine, it is far more civilized and we'll have a great time there. Maybe we'll shoot a deer.
