Marshmallows and Wieners ~ Contest #6

The April Fool’s Day Contest continues!   Post your best guess below.

During the Spring, Summer and Autumn months, a semi-retired artist and writer runs a federally owned campground with her husband.   

The price for a slice of paradise at her pristine and well-run campground? 

An economical $21 a night, complete with wind stirring the pine boughs to gently lull campers to sleep.

In stark contrast to the bargain basement prices at federal campgrounds, I stumbled across an article recently about . . . glamping.  

What is glamping? 

In addition to being a decidedly unpleasant sounding word, glamping is a contraction for glamorous camping ~ deluxe camping accommodations for the rich and famous who want to get back to nature without leaving creature comforts behind. 

At a resort in Montana’s Big Sky country, which we will call Grubby Paws, elite campers pay $595 per night to rough it by sleeping in cabins with a few extra perks thrown in.  

What kind of perks? 

Well, at the Grubby Paws Resort, the $595 cabin comes with a butler! 

Yup!  You heard me right ~ Grubby Paws Resort provides its glampers with a butler so they don’t have to get their grubby paws dirty.

But, wait . . . there’s more!

If you reserve today, they’ll also throw in a maid!

No, not like Maid Marion (of Robin Hood fame) . . . think Hazel (of TV fame). 

The butler builds the campfire and the maid turns down the heated down comforters on the glamping cots ~ thus allowing glampers to spend more time in the great outdoors roasting marshmallows and wieners and less time struggling pathetically to light a fire.

C’mon, butler, light my fire . . .  

Hmm . . .

Speaking of marshmallows and wieners . . . if the label fits, wear it.
