It took until college before I could stomach a PopTart or Dinty Moore beef stew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-12594268301405842182010-03-31T14:29:35.798-07:002010-03-31T14:29:35.798-07:00They made it until 10:30 pm.

If you are lucky, a communal toilet and showers. If you are not, GAH pooping in the woods and no shower.
