Word on the street

What's the best or worst thing that has happened to you while camping?

Spending time in the great outdoors brings tales to share after returning to civilization. Almost everyone who has set foot on a campsite has something interesting to recount. The State News asked a few students about the best or worst thing that has happened to them while camping.

“I was with two other people in a one person tent and we all had to get naked to poop outside.”

“It was one of the first nice days, so we set up a tent on a balcony five stories up.”

Rachel Jones

“The best thing was probably shooting the breeze during Festivus around the fire.”

J.P. Kent

“We left a tent open in the rain and everything got soaking wet.”

Dan Bruder

“I was camping with the Girl Scouts and torrential rain started pouring into the tents. Everything was soaked and we had to sleep in the car.”
