Camping

Last weekend, I went camping with friends. We went an hour north where there was a free campground. The location was on a small river which was nice to swim in. Unfortunately a huge bridge for a highway has been built across the river which kind of ruins the effect of being in nature.

The highway hasn't been opened yet, so I was thinking that this time next year, it will be really noisy to camp there. But then I found out that the highway isn't complete yet, and no work has been done on it in 2 years or so. It was a make-work project and now the government has decided not to finish the highway just yet.

Anyways, after swimming, we had dinner and made a campfire. We cooked weiners over the fire as well as making smores.

There was only one other group that were camping there that night, although they decided they wanted to sing karaoke that night. So they brought speakers and microphones, so that people could hear them for miles. So it wasn't the quietest night.

The next day, our friend, Vicki, joined us and we went for a walk to a nice waterfall:


and saw some realistic scarecrows:
and went to another bridge to look down the river to where we had camped:
