While we are looking for clothes Daryl rounded up some necessities…toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc…About the time we were checking out my buddy Chad showed up to hang out.  As we were walking to the truck Stacy thanked us profusely and then asked me if I wanted to drop him off and see his camp.It was in the woods behind the waffle house…
