The bastard was so cheap we brought our own freeze-dried bags of food. After two weeks of shivering in a friggin' tent and washing my hair in water colder than a Kirkus reviewer's soul, I went ballistic.<BR/><BR/>We checked into a hotel the next night, hot showers and fresh trout. The rule then became three nights in a tent and one night in a hotel of my choosing.<BR/><BR/>It didn't save the marriage but at least my hair was clean and I didn't have bug bites on my ass when I woke up.<BR/><BR/>So Joe...buddy...three nights at the roach motel but then treat yourself to at least a Best Western.
