CAMPER GROWS

SOMETIMES SMA!

BY EDDIE BARROW

If there’s anything to the
theory of reincarnation, then
my wife and I have spent at
least half of our few lives in
some kind of caravan or tent.
In our last life quite likely we
were Romany gypsies doing a
brisk trade: in fortune telling
and changelings as we pushed
our. wagon across Europe. Be-
fore that we were probably Mon-
golian wandering sheep herders
pitching our tent wherever the
grazing was best. To put is
succinctly, there is Wanderer
in our blood,

It was this mutual compulsion
to see and do new things that
got us together inthe firstplace.
As I recall, we met in a youth
hostel stopover. somewhere
close to Nanaimo. Being a wo-
man she could tell you exectly
where, what time, what we cook-
ed for supper that night, and
the brand of sneakers I was
wearing,

Youth hostelling was the thing
to.do in those days. The prov-
incial government subsidized
the hostels, and all you had to
do was hike or bike from one
hostel to the next, carrying a
rain slicker, a tooth brush and
enough small change to pay for
a night’s lodging in “clean but

-plain’’ shelter.

T pushed by C.C.M, over alot
of miles that particular surnmer

-together with my wife-to~be and

her girl friend: (a female who
suspected- my motives, and
whose tires had the habit of
going flat in rain storms),

“special situation and Tdon’'tex- 0c:

. we've” got now: though,

T

trees, sun across the face of a
lake, the look and atmosphere
of a new town to do the job,

Of course as we have become
more mature and pleasantly-
encumbered, (my wife and |
prefer the word ‘mature’ to
‘older’) we have made certain
concessions to this business of
roughing it. When the kids came
along, three of them in fairly
rapid succession, we invested
in a five-place tent with all the
amenities. The luxury of gas
stove and lamps, fold-away
bunks and all that nonsense
bothered our conscience after
camping the pure and primitive
way for so many years. . .but
my wife admitted one nightafter
the kids were asleep, thata little
comfort’ in camp didn’t go
amiss, I’m glad she said it be-.
fore 1 did.

The kids are older now, The.

oldest boy will, be striking out
on his own any time - by choice,
not as a revolutionary. We got
to know one another pretty well
on those camping trips. Four
years ago I made a good deal
on some property along theShu-
swap and we put up a nice A
frame ecotiage. Built it
ourselves.

I bought a Datsun pickup, with
an eye to economy, and we
‘moved everything: we needed
into. the site. Wood for the: cot-
tage was pre-cut and ready for
assembly, The pickup worked
like a charm,’ carrying some
skonkum loads: over roads that.

had seen better days. The last —

mile into the cottage was nothing
but-a bulldozed : trail for more
than'a year.

The -kids: are enjoying the

cottage, but growing away from
“iti as they develop new friends

and. interests. The wife and I
will ‘get Thore use out of it than
