Is it too dark to go boxing now?

From: adglbna (ADGLBNA@aol.com) | Date: 2002-09-15 02:26:22 UTC

There's this little voice in the back of my head screaming, "Go to
Patapsco Valley State Park right now! Who cares if it's dark!
You've got a flashlight a stamp pad and bear repellent!"

I was just researching camping in St. Mary's County and stumbled
across a site that offers reservations for camper cabins in
Patapsco. Unfortunately they are only available through September
30. What wise park official decided that no one should be able to
hole up in a cabin in October? Fall is prime time for boxing!

So, Psychomommy, when can you put Sarah, Cat, and I up for the
night? We won't take up too much space and if we get bored, we might
place a couple of boxes in your yard, crawlspace, toilet, etc.
(hee, hee)

In all seriousness, the park is not far from Frederick and its
magnetic pull is getting stronger and stronger every day. I don't
think I need a fortuneteller to tell me that the gang will be
visiting very soon.

- You guys are just too funny! I broke out in hysterics when I got to
your sleepover idea! Sure Why not! My place can handle it. Looks like
MD is trying to catch up to CT in placed boxes. The section in my
binder "to look for" is ever increasing. I might not have to go out
of state.
I was thinking of placing some in my yard. I wouldn't mind, but I
think my boys might have a bark or 2 about it!
LOL :-) Karin
