Campin for long weekend

We had a great long weekend. Tod broke my axle on my rhino the first day we were out so no 4 wheel drive for me, but I managed to get in all the mud a few times. Tod's quad was over heating at the most unexpected times and near the end of our trip to Mount Baldy Keri's rhino started to over heat, all in all we like to keep our trips exciting and never a dull moment is to be had. We quaded in the 4 seasons; rain, snow, wind, and sun. We made it to the top of Mount Baldy, in a little snow storm, and a whole lot of cold. Our Sunday was cold and rainy. When the clouds lifted off the mountain tops we had snow covered tops. Brr! Late that afternoon, early evening the fog started rolling in. It was very thick and cold, we couldn't see over to the next camp. Before the fog settled at our camp fire, we had an Elk walk through she had a tracking collar on her that looked like a lead rope. It was very cool. We had a blast with all our friends. The kids were great and made there own little play camp to go and escape from the adults and we had no fights or arguments. At night the girls would have a PJ party in our trailer and the boys would go to the Water`s trailer to have a few games of Wii. A few times during the day and early night would break out the playing cards for a game of Skip-Bo, Swap, or Poker. Thank you for coming out with us, Waters' & Mitchell's, it's always funner to go with other families.

How can you call that Camping! Camping is tents, roughing it, not camper trailer, with heat, toilets, shower, and what....you bring a grill!!! No wonder, Oakly said you eat like kings when you camp. Now I can see how. You may as well call it a freakin' "Hilton in the Forest"! Check out my blog pics,....now that's camping!
