The Great Outdoors (#243) (852)

Xeres and I decided that we needed to get away from it all, for a while. We arrive at Big Rock Candy Mountain, a fantastic campground with a number of odd features, including a creek near an ocean beach with lots of hiking in tropical and pine forests. Occasional guests wander in, we read some poetry and short stories, offer some PSAs about camping, and we have our Short Wave Radio to tune in music and The Weather Computer.

It’s The Great Outdoors. Sit around the campfire, and stay a spell.

Enjoy!
