Camping with Danny
Aug. 15th, 2003 10:59 amOn Friday Danny
djjo and I went to a clothing-optional gay campground at Turkey Point with my friends Mark and Bob. It was bear jamboree weekend and the tent sites were full to overflowing with beefy, hairy men. Here are Bob, Jake and Mark relaxing on the site.
Thunderclouds wandered around the sky for two days, but the storms and rain stayed away.
Many campers bought a meal and drink plan for $60, but Mark was always complaining about the food being to cold, or not ready when they wanted it. Danny and I brought our own food and were happier keeping our own schedule.
Friday night while my friends went gallavanting, Danny and I sat with Jake by the fire and drank Strongbow Cider. In the mornings we would sit on our site, Danny knitting something in soft shades of purple and blue yarn, and me writing in my notebook.
Saturday we drove to Turkey Point Provincial Park and explored a nature trail near the shore of Lake Erie. Danny took some wonderful photos of mushrooms and so on. He has a much nicer camera than I do. But I did manage to take a few decent shots.
Fortunately the weather was warm (this has been a cool, wet summer for Ontario), and we spent many enjoyable hours floating in the pool, alternately smooching and enjoying the view. We made some new acquaintances and chatted with a few old ones from Toronto and London, but mostly Danny and I relaxed and kept to ourselves.
As for the nights, going to bed and waking up were the most pleasant experiences I have had in a long time, full of tenderness and exuberance.

The rain didn't come until Sunday afternoon after we had packed the car and gone for a final swim for relief from the heat. As we drove out of the campground, the sky finally opened up.
