I was at a planning meeting for a family-oriented Scout camp coming up in a couple of weeks and we were talking about ways to keep down the number of parent tents. I suggested that my wife could tent with another leader's wife and she replied, "It'll be the first annual meeting of the HWC". Needless to say, there were a lot of puzzled faces since none of us could figure out what she meant.
She explained that since there are now 5 leaders who prefer hammocks to tents, there are now 5 other people without tent-mates and she decided to call the group the "Hammock Widows Club".
Has anybody else had to deal with the ground-dwellers who have been left behind?
