In fact, every year my brothers and I get together to go camping. Yes, beer is involved. But, we still enjoy being out doors. Especially far away from Stratford. Having to wear bullet-proof vests in the summer gets hot.Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.com
