Travelling With Friends: BOOK NINE (It Was Supposed To Be Simple 9)
About
A luxury fifth wheel.
A fishing boat.
Eight adults.
Twelve tackle boxes.
Too many coolers.
Absolutely no organization.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jack Johnson proudly rolls into town with his brand-new 1-Ton Black Ram diesel dually Pick-Up Truck, Pulling a massive luxury fifth wheel that cost more than some houses. Brody Bacon arrives with a beautiful fishing and ski boat. Everybody else brings luggage, groceries, fishing gear, sleeping bags, opinions, unnecessary advice, and several completely different ideas about how the trip should work.
By the time they leave town, the truck already leans sideways.
What begins as a relaxing camping and fishing vacation to Pine Ridge Campground near Payette Lake quickly turns into a rolling public disaster involving crushed groceries, shifting cargo, wrong turns, impossible parking angles, soaked tents, missing supplies, tangled fishing lines, burned pancakes, suspicious huckleberries, and one blue-eyed Siberian husky named Bandit who treats the entire campground like his own personal shopping mall.
- Bandit steals underwear.
- Bandit steals steaks.
- Bandit steals marshmallows.
- Bandit steals hotdog buns.
- Bandit steals bait.
- At one point, Bandit may briefly steal the last remaining thread of human dignity holding the trip together.
Meanwhile, Annie insists she can water ski despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Ginny quietly realizes the vacation was doomed long before they reached the campground. Calvin explains every situation incorrectly with absolute confidence. Jack keeps “fixing” problems into larger problems while Brody turns every situation into a moving physical hazard involving speed, splashing, sliding, dragging, or accidental impact.
And somehow, through all of it, neighboring campers completely fall in love with Bandit while the exhausted humans slowly realize they have become live entertainment for the entire campground.
Travelling with Friends is a fast-moving, laugh-out-loud small-town comedy packed with escalating disasters, physical comedy, public embarrassment, believable personalities, and the kind of vacation chaos that feels painfully possible. Every “helpful” decision immediately creates another problem, every attempt to organize the group makes things worse, and every confident explanation turns out completely wrong.
