Snobby Manhattanites mocked at campground
A New York City family on a summer camping trip "thought they was too good for God's green earth," according to regulars at a popular Delaware River campground. The family of four arrived in a "fancy schmancy" rental car, didn't know how to pitch a tent or start a fire, and seemed frightened by the campground's permanent mobile home residents. After swimming in the campground's unheated pool for only 20 minutes, they refused to participate in crafts activities or the evening magic show. "We ain't got no heated pool like the Econolodge," said campground regular Goober Pyle. "They bought about $100 worth of supplies in the general store," reported camp manager Barney Fife, "like they was afraid they wasn't gonna survive the night!" Camper Ernest T. Bass agreed. "I'd like to see them Rockefellers try to skin a squirrel!"
