Had a generator for a while. It was in the way all the time and when it
was cranked I had flashbacks to enjoying the great outdoors at an
endurance ride, the sound of birds, horses neighing, friends calling out
and waving and then some person who forgets it's called "camping" and
wants to watch TV and use their microwave starts up a generator not just
to cook breakfast, or take an afternoon nap, but all day and all night
and it sounds like when your next door neighbor is mowing past the window
of your house...only the mower never gets farther away and you picture
them putting their mower out of gear and getting off to move a tree limb
or something, but they never get back on it and the mower is running in
one place right by *you*.

Oh yes, that is *exactly* how it feels!

I guess I've been lucky, as I've never camped next to anyone with a generator until my last ride.  Wow!  What a shocker!  All afternoon long....I couldn't take it.  All I wanted to do was relax at camp after the ride, and instead I had to run away.  At least it didn't seem to bother the horses ;-p
