Every year since I was four or five, maybe younger for all my memory knows, I have gone on a camping trip to Wildcat Mountain State Park here in Wisconsin. I used to go with my grandparents and now that I'm 19 I am going on my own. Depending on when it is during the month that year we have anywhere between 7 people and 45 people. It is an absolutely fun trip and we go for about four days. The thing is - we are called the "It's Going to Rain for Sure Canoe Club". People who have gone around the same time as us have started to actually call us up every year to see when we are going to avoid the rain. :) It's crazy.
Do you have any traditions? Do you like camping? How often do you go camping if ever?

That is hilarious that people call you to see when you are going so they can avoid going when it is sure to rain! Do you or your friends ever give them fake dates for your trip?

Nope, we make sure to tell them when we set the date for (we reserve the date a year early to be sure to get our favorite campsite). One year there was a boy scout troop in our favorite site so the kids in the group (me and my friends when we were younger) tried to make trouble and we'd "accidentally" throw a ball into the middle of their campsite or while they were out we'd go sit around their fire ring. Ha ha. We're not like that anymore. But we also got our favorite site this year.
