Those were wonderful times, and we take away the best of memories, and tend to forget the pain, itching bites, sunburn, the chilling cold, burning heat,the discomforts of the "facilities" or lack thereof. Actually, it is a little like childbirth. If you just remembered the pain, civilization would have died out centuries ago. But I still know some very brave and hearty people who love to camp.

Isn't it wonderful how some memories of childhood stay with us forever? I have to say I agree with your son about buying fish at the store though! Thanks for sharing your story.

I was wildly excited by my first fish (also a Wyoming trout) but it just didn't take. Great read Dave. Can relate to every word.

And I'm appreciating it right here in my climate-controlled office, with a fresh pot of coffee brewing in the kitchen (which is where sane people make their coffee.) Camping stories are much more fun than bug-bites. Wonderful story-telling.
