This is personally one of my favorite campgrounds.
I am going to make a huge effort to make it to this gathering.
I promised EVERYONE that I was going to take it easy this year. One class at a time, Just working full time, and taking care of myself, but hey, when will I ever do that?
-I moved out
-I am work at least 45 hours
-I am looking for a second job
-I go to school full time
-And I have created a weird schedule for myself to occupy my "free time"

So, I am going to do my best.

Went down to the campground last night to see how high the river was getting. What a beautiful sunset off our sites. We parked in our site.



Here is another picture of some of the sites and the shelter there we can use for meals. It also has a large grill there for our use also. This site in front is Steve's.
