Monkeyboy loves to camp! These fine park rangers helped me out and found me a lovely campsite near the river. The other campers were a little taken aback having to camp next to a gorilla, but after I introduced myself, all was good. I kept all the bears and racoons at bay, so everyone was happy to have me around. I even had my first s'more. I do not recommend eating these with a full face of fur. The result is a hairy, sticky, marshmallowey mess.
After a quick study of the map, I was off on a hike. What a lovely way to spend the day. And I didn't have to worry about Giraffes and Elephants getting in my way like back at home. Just a monkey, on a sojourn, communing with nature. It brings to mind one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost...."two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both, and be one traveler long I stood..." I bet none of you knew I was so into poetry. You are learning a lot of new things about this ape!!
Next, I was off to canoe the river. Once I figured out how to steer the dang canoe, I was on my way. A powerful Gorilla paddling a little canoe is like a 25 HP motor! You should have seen the wake. I could have pulled a waterskier.
All good things must come to an end, so it was time for Monkeyboy to move on. You just never know where I will show up next.

My daughter is one of the rangers that helped you find your site. We all agree it is nice to see so many individuals enjoying our state parks. You appear to be quite a Rennaissance fellow. We have a bear, Cubby, who also does some traveling but without the opposable thumbs can not type. We also have a number of horses here, you should stop by and see them if you are near the park again. Happy trails
You sure have been traveling a lot! I enjoy keeping up with you on your endeavors. I cannot wait to see what you are going to be for Halloween.
