First Camp Trip with Pop-Up Camper

admin — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:59:01 +0000

Summer didn’t seem like it would ever get here this year. And it really didn’t show up this weekend either. But today is beautiful. This weekend we had our first camping trip of the year. AND…. no more tents! While I loved tent camping, and until this year, always swore that you wouldn’t get me in an RV, I stand corrected. RV camping is sweet. You can see a picture of our new setup here on this post. It’s our new pop-up camper. Well, not exactly new, but new to us. We grabbed this beauty, a 1995 camper, on Friday morning, got it all tricked out and headed to Farragut State Park in Idaho. It was awesome.

I don’t think I’ll tent camp unless we are backpacking or really need to. While it rained the entire weekend, the shelter of the camper and the awning provided us ample coverage to have a wonderful weekend. Next up – a rack for our canoe and mountain bikes!

Letter to Senator Crapo

After reading the article below here: http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2010/08/12/idahopolitics/sullivan_says_crapo_should_return_fannie_freddie_money_crapo_dec

I wrote the following letter to Senator Crapo. I can’t explain the frustration and amazement I have after reading this.

Senator Crapo,

After reading that I am very disappointed in this.

1. How can you take money from an organization that is getting bailed out by taxpayers?

2. By taking money from them you are condoning the actions of a bankrupt organization, taking taxpayers money and using it for political contributions? I would seriously love to hear you justify this.

3. How can you even comment on anything bad they are doing, when you are taking their money?

Where are the principles I heard you talk about at Senator Jorgenson’s home several years ago? Where are the principles at all?

How can you justify these things.

You should give this money back, you know why? It’s our money.

I’m a long time republican, I’ve voted for you several times, my office is down a few steps from yours in CDA and I’ve always considered you one of the good guys.

But this, this will move my vote to someone else and will encourage me to tell others the same thing.

It’s about principles. I know that I would never take money like that from an organization that is taking money from the taxpayers.

It is amazing, just amazing.

Jamie Birch.
