I sadly have to work Opening ( short due to budget cuts, but not for long! ) but Alex will be out.

we're starting to get stuff together, and I'm going new haik shopping in about a week. I'm excited!

The SWFF forum doesn't seem to get the traffic that TRF does.  Our first weekend was wet. Lots of wet.  We didn't go last weekend, but we will be up there this weekend. It's spring break weekend, so the faire is open Fri, Sat and Sun.  Lots going on Saturday night in the camp grounds.

I want to go soooo badly!!! This weekend looks perfect!! But we have a vehicle down and trying to do some home remodeling.  :-\  Hopefully next year!!  Even then, I can't camp.  My hubby won't let me after the last time I broke out in a nasty rash on the way home that the doctor couldn't diagnose.  I had huge itchy blisters on my hands for a week and could barely bend them...  I'm assuming it was an allergic reaction to something unknown but even with promises of wearing gloves and taking allergy meds, he won't budge. :(

That's a very protective hubby you have there. And there is no shortage of plants and animals to be allergic to in that forest. Plenty of poison oak. One of our crew ended up in the hospital after a nasty encounter with the poison oak.

But she still comes to camp, when she can. She is just more careful and washes with the prescribed soap as a preventative.

Cautious is good, over protective though, not so much (o:

I know it wasn't poison oak or poison ivy.  I grew up in WV so have had plenty of encounters with that!!  I don't know if there was some plant that isn't in the Houston area (we've camped around here enough) or it could have even been the soaps in the bathroom.  I've never had a rash that severe before, I had huge blisters running the length of my fingers. I've had small ones that were a reaction to soaps and chemicals when I was a server long, long ago, but nothing like that.   Hubby has medical background so immediately thinks of the worst...infections, skin grafts, sepsis... :o  where I think "give me an allergy pill and we'll see what happens!"  There is probably a balance somewhere in between!  At the moment, it's a hotel... ::)  But I'll keep working at it!  :D

Alright, here comes April.  Let's see how the weather pans out for the final four weekends of SWFF.

We are coming up on the final weekend of Sherwood. And this board has been dead dead dead. It's sad sad sad.

I hope to see lots of my RF friends around the forest next weekend.
