Enjoy your camping trip and don't scare any wild life :)

from National Lampoon's Radio Hour, ca. 1973, sung by a John Denver soundalike.
Christopher Guest, Sean Kelly, and Tony Hendra
I'm stuck in this old city now where living ain't no fun Where steel and glass and concrete cancel out the wind and sun And I'm thinking of last winter now when we walked hand in hand In the trails of the Colorado Rockies The wind sang us a lullaby, the snow was thick as cream, And icicles were chandeliers like crystal in a dream And the streams were strips of diamond And the hills were white as snow, And a bear ate all our soybeans in the night
Oh, Colorado's calling me From her hillsides and her rivers and her mesas and her trees, When blizzards snap the power lines And all the toilets freeze In December in the Colorado Rockies
We had time and space and freedom, We had love and peace to spare Though we ran out of things to smoke and say and eat and wear And the morning of the avalanche The Yeti kidnapped Blanche And took her to his cave up in the Rockies.
Oh, Colorado's calling me From her glaciers and her canyons and her badlands and ravines, And infectious hepatitis Was all that came to stay In January in the Colorado Rockies
The baby didn't die until we'd burned up all our wood Considering we ate her raw, she tasted pretty good Then the fascist health inspectors Dug us out and mailed us home -- Except for Blanche who wouldn't leave her mate.
Oh, Colorado's calling me From her mountains and her rivers and her meadows and her trees They tell me I'll be cured soon Thawed and ready to return When it's April in the Colorado Rockies.

It reminds me of living in the mountains, broken power lines, frozen plumbing and bringing in firewood. And making sure the pantry stayed stocked up. We were snowed in for almost three days in the 80's. Now, the bears usually come in the summer.
It's much better here along the front range, folks were playing golf and wearing shorts yesterday.
