We lucked into a spot with power and some privacy. Although there did seem to be a shortcut right at the edge of our site.
It was nice to camp with company. Dave's brother and nephew joined us on Saturday. Sunday, Dave's sister joined us. Our nephew camped in a tent with friends (on the other side of the campground). So there were 4 of us sleeping in the RV Sunday night. Seemed to have plenty of room and luckily nobody snores loud.
It was a good weekend. A little crazy with kids riding bikes around the campground (there must have been a sale on training wheels somewhere). Anyway, we stuck with our original plan of heading out on Saturday and returning Monday. So holiday traffic wasn't too bad.
Sunday morning Dave and I did a short bike ride. The roads didn't seem too friendly so we headed back to the campground and took a short hike. It was great to be out in the woods and away from the noisy campground for awhile.
Dilemma: We just came from the campground and we were not done walking.
So we headed off to Maple Valley
It was a steep climb - the benches came in handy.
Then we turned around and checked out Trails End.
Some people drove up to Lake Cushman and went swimming.
Later Sunday some of the group went clamming and oyster harvesting on the canal. I was fortunate enough to avoid both of those activities. I did have to see some of the shellfish. Gross. Food should come from a grocery store. Neatly packaged and clean. Preferably pre-cooked.
Speaking of cooking - there was a fair amount of that going on this weekend. We usually bring easy meals. But this weekend we had to pull out the portable stove while my bro-in-law set up his propane grill. Geez. I had forgotten that camping can take so much work! I thought it was all about the relaxing and exploring.
Our next trip is the family campout. We'll be staying in a group site. Can't wait.
