So my hope was to finish the shawl sitting around a camp fire while we were camping at Letchworth State Park this past weekend. Instead our camp fire dreams were stomped out by Smokey the Bureaucratic State Employee Bear!
- Letchworth kicked us out of our cabin that we’ve rented for the past 11 years and tossed us in another one while our usual cabin was geting an overhaul. Why? Because….
- Letchworth took out ALL wood burning stoves from ALL of the cabins
- Letchworth no longer provides campers with firewood even for outside camp fires
- Letchworth pissed me off and totally ruined our camping trip! ARGH
The first night we all stood around what used to be a fireplace and did nothing but bellyache about Letchworth. We were so bored we all went to bed at 9pm totally sober and irate.
Day 2 was a little better; we drank beer, ate bacon and eventually went on a hike. Later we drove all the way back to Geneseo to pick up some of those manufactured logs just so we could have an outside camp fire. More drinking made the processed fire almost look realistic.

Since most of my time was spent complaining about the State of New York and Letchworth State Park in general I only got 1 pattern row done on my scarf. But, the good news is I’m almost done with a skein and there’s 1 more skein left to work and the other one will be used for fringe.
Oh, I also read a book called “A Dog’s Purpose” by Bruce Cameron. If you’re a dog lover I highly recommend it. If you’re a crier keep tissues handy. I slobbered all over my sleeping bag and pillow on several occasions.
