Showering while camping

Day one. Got to the shower house and had forgotten my towel. No problem I will dry myself with my t shirt.
Note to self: once you have worn a shirt all day it may not be the freshest choice for a towel off. Plus I find you have more wet than shirt.
Day 2 remembered the towel lest I repeat yesterday. Stepped into the shower and realized I had forgotten the soap. No problem. I used my shampoo. The shampoo I buy with my home equity loan but it's either that or soap up with toothpaste.
Day 3 remembered the towel and the soap. Things are looking up. Left the shampoo at the tent. No problem, there is always soap. I can feel it drying out my hair on contact. Yea for camping.
Day 4 Towel-check. Soap-check. Shampoo-check. I am definitely getting the hang of this. Shampooed. Showered. Clean at last. Apparently I left my clean clothes at the camp site. Back into those clothes that are marinated in sweat, swamp and mud. On my way back from the shower I feel pretty much the way I arrived.
Day 5. I compiled a list to help me organize this apparently complicated task.
- Soap
- Towel
- Shampoo
- Clean clothes
Showered with soap, shampooed with shampoo, dried with a towel, clean clothes at the ready. Time to brush teeth.
Mental note: Neither Soap nor shampoo make good toothpaste.
