The weather was nice, but it did get pretty cold at night. Roasting marshmallows by the fire helped with the cold.
The campsite had an apple tree. For dinner the first night we cut up some apples to go with our vegetables and that was tasty! In addition to this, we also found blackberry and black raspberry bushes with berries! We also saw a bear, deer, rabbits, four different kinds of big caterpillars, and a large rattlesnake! The rattlesnake slithered through our campsite. It was the last day while we were eating lunch and had everything packed up. It didn't pay any attention to us and didn't even rattle, but I was still scared. Once it left, I said, "Oh my goodness!" and Micah said, "That was SO cool!" hahaha!
The moon was really bright when we went to bed so we couldn't really see the constellations well. But one night Micah woke in the middle of the night to "run to the potty". The moon was gone by then and he was terrified of the dark so all three of us went to the bathroom together. The one good thing about that 2am trek to the bathroom was the BEAUTIFUL view of all of the constellations. Living in the city, we haven't really seen them in a long time so that was a real treat.
We went on a hike that was supposed to take us to a waterfall, but because of the drought, everyone who passed us on the way back said that it was really a trickle into a puddle. Since the hike was completely downhill leaving us with the prospect of going all the way back up the hill, we turned around before getting to the end. The view was beautiful.
Afterward, my pregnant body was pooped! And so was Micah. I got a chance to sit and read while Brett the Eagle Scout prepared lunch. I recommend always taking an Eagle Scout on your camping trips. ;-)
All in all it was a fun time!
