From July 27-30 we went camping up at Current Creek. It was gorgeous, despite the 17 miles of washboard dirt road. The trailer survived, but the suburban did not. (More on that later)
Some pictures of the drive up.
Dirt Road....
Still climbing up the mountain.
Yep, those clouds are moving in on us.
Let it rain, we're ready for it.
Luckily, we were able to get camp set up before the rain storm hit. It ended up raining all night long. It was beautiful.
A break from the rain...
Just long enough to shoot the wrist rockets...
The boys were aiming at the Beaver Pond.
Finding some pebbles
Fishing at the lake.
The only thing that we caught was this snake.... and it was dead.
By the looks of it, a bird of some sorts got a hold of it.

After an unsuccessful fishing trip, we headed back to camp. The kids and I and Chili decided to head down to the Beaver Pond and check it out. It was really cool.

Will had this stick and he really liked it, and Daisy(aka Man Bear Pig) came up and chewed the end of it off. If you look close enough, you can tell that Will is crying.

We had a great time. Camping is always fun, but it's always nice coming home to a shower and your own bed. Ahhh comforts of home.
