Drunken guitar playing and singing - that would be hard to take - you have my sympathy.

...and f-bombs in a campsite with kids and Mennonites. Nice.

My personal favorite is the camp along the Upper Current where some drunken hillbillies decided the best course of action was to shine a massive spotlight into our tent at midnight and give us some high quality rebel yells.

Though that wouldn't necessarily qualify as "reckless indifference" as much as attempted (and entirely unsuccessful) intimidation. It was during the heat of the whole ONSR management debate and some of the locals were a bit hot and bothered.

Part of it is lack of common sense. The bigger part these days is "I don't give a flying freak about you." The result is pure misery for those of us born with common sense and raised right.

Don't stay at campgrounds unfortunately

Eh, I'll always take camp (with all of its pleasures and displeasures) over a hotel room. This applies for both fishing and most hunting trips (ie regular Firearms deer season.)

The exception I make: during the early winter, in Northern Missouri, during Antlerless Deer Season, I book a room. In only those conditions does that Sleep Inn in Macon sound pretty fantastic:)

This last regular firearm deer season was quite tailor-made for some nice warm hotel room experience. I planned on camping out at the place in my tent, but when temps are in the 20's even during daytime, yeah, that wasn't about to happen. Wound up driving back home to St. Louis every single day I went, cause the gas still wound up being cheaper than the hotel room.

While we're venting, I'd like to say thank you to the ONE boat that slowed as it passed our jon boat on taneycomo last week. I slow to nearly an idle as i pass on taneycomo when generation is near zero, due to the size of the water. Knuckleheads.

Al, as I hive told you before, you write well. I am sorry but, McManus needed to write about this.

He does it all well!
