Hey dude what’s the name of this campground? I’m gonna do some research on the Information Superhighway.

OK, I already reserved a canoe- do I need to reserve a campsite, too? Or is this some group thing? I’m confused. Also- I’m borrowing a tent from Magara and got a paddle at XXXX’s Sporting Goods. They’re on sale right now- carbon graphite for 115 bucks. Spread the word!

So as long as you reserved the canoe at the right time you are good. The campsite has already been reserved and you just pay me when you arrive. You do not need a paddle they provide all of that. I hope you kept your receipt. Call me if you have any other questions. 796-XXXX.Did you reserve canoe for 10 mile trip at 9 am?

Hey dude – I didn’t hear back from you yesterday. The campground looks awesome- it should be a fun time! I stopped back at XXXX’s- manager there said we could get a group rate on the paddles- they’re super strong and super light- they weigh about one pound each, and you can hang about two and a half people off the edge of these things- there’s no way it’ll snap.I put ten on hold, and can collect at the campsite once we get there. He said for that group size, he’ll charge 110 per paddle. Sounded fair so I said ok.

Yeah, you bring those damn paddles. People will pay. As a matter of fact, some may request that you spank them with the paddles before they hand over the money to you. That’s all I wanted. I just wanted to let you know that paddles are not needed. However, you can pick up a few canoes at XXXX’s. I am sure that people would be willing to buy some of those as well.

Wait- oh crap I hadn’t read your previous email- I thought we needed paddles! Fudge! Wth? Will those guys really want them if we already rented paddles with our canoes? They’re really good paddles- Vinson brand. Maybe the guy at XXXX’s will let me outta the deal- I made a deposit, thinking these are really good, and if nothing else we could have a souvenir as long as the weekend is fun. It’s not gonna be fun if I’m stuck with over a Grand’s worth of canoe paddles!

Help me out here, dude. See if anyone on your email list is interested. I don’t know everyone on the list, so I’d feel weird hitting them all up.

OK if I don’t hear back, I’ll just email them myself. Thanks!

Are you serious? Cause if you are that has got to be the dumbest shit I have ever heard. It sure will not be fun when you are stuck with a grand worth of paddles. Maybe Dobbins or Sterling can help you out.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Calling it now – greatest camping trip ever.
