Oh, goody. I just found out that I'll be in a "rustic" location on Monday and Tuesday.

:yoiks: I'm going to an executive board retreat for our state professional organization. It's at a state park not very far from where I live, and I wasn't planning on staying overnight on Monday night. However, one of the women I know on the board is begging me to be her roommate that night. She doesn't get along well with most of the women there, and she knows I don't snore. I'm sorry about her dilemma, but if I don't stay overnight, she'll get to have a room to herself. :)

Rustic is OK for daytime, but the facilities are as follows: no A/C, no TV, no Internets (therefore, no DU :cry:), no telephone service, weak cell phone reception, bunk beds, and communal bathrooms away from the cabins. :( I mean, I did the Girl Scout camping thing way back when, but I don't do rustic accommodations any more. This state park is a converted Boy Scout camp, which should tell you a lot. :)

This girly-girl is not into "roughing it", so I think I'll just commute. :)

Besides, the day I get back to the office (on Wed.), we have a State auditor coming to do a program review. I want to be sharp and alert for their visit.

1. Nope, if it doesn't have room service ~ it's too rustic for me.

2. Same here.

:hi: :D

3. Holiday Inn is my preferred campground.

I don't do rustic.

"the facilities are as follows: no A/C, no TV, no Internets (therefore, no DU ), no telephone service, weak cell phone reception, bunk beds, and communal bathrooms away from the cabins."

Followed by "no thank you." Ugh.

9. My thoughts exactly.

when Bushboy gets into it with Iran. A few nuikes are lobbed back and forth and we all are thrown back to The Stone Age.

10. I guess that's one way to see it.....

:rofl: :hi: From the pics I've seen, that just about sums it up. :P

6. NOTE do NOT whore it up

The one with loose morals always get killed first by the _____ wielding escaped mental patient

11. Darn it, I was hoping I could whore it up big-time.

:cry: But that's a good point. I don't want to be butchered by any escaped mental patients or anything. :rofl: :P

7. Ya know, some NC state parks are quite scenic

Hanging Rock

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Very much so.

:hi: And the one we're going to (not Hanging Rock, unfortunately) is also scenic. :) By day, that is. You can't see the scenery at night, so there's no reason for me to be "rustic" after sundown. :rofl:
