It's not that I'm an avid camper, I'm far from it, but when I rolled into Big 5 Sporting goods and picked up that four man tent for a mere thirty nine bucks, I knew it was going to be a great weekend. Ah, the fresh air, that wonderful smell of a freshly lit barbecue, and the company of good friends...what could be better? Well, paradise, as described my moronic friend who had told me for years that this specific camping ground was a piece of heaven was, actually, in a parking lot near (not on) the beach.
