When we are up in the woods at hunt club, someone will run around and find a place where you can get cell phone coverage to call back home. The spot is marked and becomes known as the "phone booth". I took my buddy up to the phone booth with my camper for him to check in with the Mrs. It was way up on a logging road."It really sucks up here in the woods,..You wouldn't like it honey, there are mice in the tent... I miss you XXX!"
I'm just kidding! :)
"The Phone Booth" - cute!
ReplyDeleteI like that phrase. I miss going camping. Used to go a lot when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteI think, if I was married or seriously-involved, I wouldn't force or make my fellow commit to phoning in from the trip. That just seems like not-so-much-fun for the guy, and instead of encouraging a good thought "I miss my wife", it encourages a bad thought "me doing this to make her happy is taking away from my enjoyment with the guys".
Don't get me wrong, I'd probably love a phone call, but it's not something I'd expect.
Maybe I'm just unconventional.
We name everything up there. That way you don't have to describe a place over and over in conversation. A few examples:
ReplyDeleteThe golf course
The rock
The knoll
The landing
The horseshoe
The wood pile
The phone booth, and on and on.
Actually that guy had a sweet conversation with his wife. They'd been apart for a while because he was back east on a business trip before he went hunting. But she really hates camping.
