A friend was kind enough to inform me that St George is actually the patron saint of camping and hiking. In addition he is know for the slaying of a dragon. All of which may come in handy with our future camping plans.
Hmmm... this does make me wonder whether I should have chosen the Georgie Boy over the Fleetwood.... Perhaps instead of "The Beast" I should now start referring to my RV as "The Dragon" in the hopes that my problems have now been slain?...
Compliments of Lord Robert Baden-Powell who founded the Scouts and made St George the patron saint of the scouting movement. I found his poem to be very appropriate for our new found hobby.
My warmest good wishes I am sending to you
And hoping that the winter is through
You will start out afresh to follow the lead
Of our Patron Saint George and his spirited steed;
Not only to tackle what ever may befall,
But also successfully to win through it all
And then may you have an enjoyable spell
Of hiking, and jolly good camping as well.
