Br~k1in Byires By BE'ITY-JEAN BLYTH Cail 655-3679 with Items for this column Last week for the first time in almost 20 years I went camping without kids. No umpteen dozen trips an hour to the Comfort Station, no counting heads every five minutes to make sure someone hadn't wandered away, no wet bathing suits and sodden towels to pick up off sleeping bags., The cooler lids stayed on the coolers, there were no half-eaten ant- encrusted hot dog rolîs to dispose of, no melting but- ter and sticky knives to clean up between meals. Even the flies seemed to have taken off to some other campsite with more lucratic pickings. I could actually relax on the beach and close both eyes. I could go for a hike without lugging along the first aid kit or a leisurely canoe paddle without having to hurry back so someone else could have a turn. Around the campfire at night I could sit and con- template the stars in complete silence without once having to get up and trek through the woods in sear- ch of yet another marshmallow roasting stick. I could even go off to bed without having to wait up for a wandering teenager or settle a squabble about who slept where.
