Tell us about your worst experience while you were camping.
Only describe what you would feel comfortable talking about.............if your best buddy was mauled to death by a bear, best not bring it up.
For me, 3 years ago we decided to try a bit of fishing.
The lake we were at is part of the Canadian Shield, therefore the shores are 95% rock.
Well, with the shore being rock and underwater, algae grows on this.
My oldest daughter wanted to take her shoes off and put her feet in the water..........one wrong step and she slid down the smooth, slippery, rocky shore and dropped about 4 feet off a ledge into an area deeper than she was tall.
My wife jumped in after her and neither could get out because the algae on the rocks was as slippery as axle grease.
My wife screamed help and some bystanders about 50 feet away just stood there watching.
I knew that if I jumped in, that would make 3 of us in the same situation.
I managed to reach my fishing rod out and get them out.
Needless to say, both my kids were cold and terrified, and my wife was exhausted.
Not a pleasant experience.
NEXT!
