First let me say that I am very happy with the reaction to my new avatar pic.  It was a big step for me to post a picture of myself (or at least a part of myself) and you've all been very nice.  I've also been getting friended a lot more... I appreciate all the cute little PMs too.  Never thought of myself as desirable so it's nice to get the attention.

On to camping!  It's summer and it's time for the annual camping trip.  We leave Friday morning at about 4 am and will be out in the woods until Monday eve.  Fishing and campfires and tents and digging holes to go to the bathroom.  Wheeeee!

Seriously, I love the outdoors and am a camp snob, meaning if you have a cushy trailer with an electric fridge and satellite tv, you aren't really camping.  You're towing a mobile hotel room.  

I'm the only girl on the trip, and the youngest by far.  It's my uncle, four of his friends (it varies from two to five), and me.  Why would a bunch of middle-age guys want a girl on their trip?  To be honest I don't know.  I'm guessing it's a combination of things.  My uncle is the de facto leader and it's his piece of land (80 acres in Michigan's upper peninsula) that we go camping on.  All of them know I'm not a girly-girl (bugs don't bug me and snakes are cool) and don't mind getting dirty or doing more than my fair share of camp work.  It might be that I'm the one who gets to clean the fish and cook breakfast... part of it is the "youngest" or "rookie" mentality but I also don't mind it and I think they appreciate it.  Maybe it's because I let them do the really heavy stuff (like chopping wood) and compliment them on their manliness.  Maybe it's because they've known me for years and to them I really am "one of the guys".  They know they can talk freely and I won't be offended.  Not to mention that I go off alone sometimes on walks and / or get tasked with driving into town for more supplies if someone forgets something (over an hour one way... grr), so they have enough "guy time" alone if they really need it.  Then again they're not the type of guys to talk shit, anyway.  This year I'm officially old enough to drink with them... not that I haven't "unofficially"drank with them before but now I get to cut loose if I want to.  I think that also means I now get to be the one who does the beer run (damn).

Remember Dan?  (Scroll down several blog posts if you don't).  He'll be there... I guess I hope, really hope, in my heart of hearts that one of the reasons they want me along is because they think I'm a cute girl and it's nice to have a cute girl along camping.  As much as I try to fit in, it's still a thought.  All of them are married.  I'm not particularly attracted to any of them (except Dan)... and my uncle and I share a tent. So, sorry to disappoint, there will probably be no camp fantasies going on.  Though I will try to masturbate when I can, either in the tent at night or when I'm off by myself somewhere.  There's also the stream that runs through the center of the property that we use for bathing, and I like to skinny dip there (so do they, but we take turns and wait until one person or group is back before the next one goes), so there's always the possibility of them seeing me naked (I wonder how many times they have in the past? It doesn't really bother me).  Maybe I'll have something to write about when I get back...

Any suggestions?  You have until Friday morning to get them to me...  ;-)
