Hospitality

4th time the charm?

There are many fine benefits of camping out.  You might try it this weekend.  The month of May is certainly a fine time to camp in much of the Northern Hemisphere.  It is so easy even a caveman could do it.

What follows are some modest suggestions.

When I say camping out, I mean under a blanket, or maybe in a sleeping bag, on the ground, maybe with a pad, definitely not in a trailer, not in an RV, and not even in a tent.  If it rains, pull out a tarp, or at most a bivey sack.

A billionaire has discovered a complex cave system beneath his golf course following the opening of a huge sinkhole.  Johnny Morris opened the Top of the Rock Golf Course in 2014, but came close to closing it following the appearance of the sinkhole a year later. Yahoo News reports: But rather than fill in the hole on the grounds on the Ozarks mountain range in Missouri, the 68-year-old businessman decided to explore. The cave enthusiast had previously discovered a cave on his grounds in 1993, which he dubbed ‘John L’s Cave’ – and the sinkhole on the golf course seemed to be part of it.
