Toward the end of August, we took a camping trip with three other couples in our small group. We only went from Saturday to Sunday...but it was so fun! I think I may actually like camping. With no humidity and mosquitoes...it is a breeze!
Luckily, we went with some camping experts, so they had the equipment and were familiar with the area. We started out at Lauren & Andy's and then headed out in search of a campsite:
The first camping area we went to was full (Rampart Reservoir). So we continued on and found a great spot just off of the dirt road. It had been camped before as we found a fire pit that we just moved to a more suitable location.
We took a walk after we got there to explore the area and found a dirt path that would be great for off-roading! I didn't take a picture of it but a jeep came by later to try it out.

We came back, set up our tents and began dinner.
We had a "Hobo" dinner with corn on the cob. Yum!

While we were preparing s'mores for dessert it started to rain and we all ran for cover. Most to our tents, Lauren & Andy to the Land Rover. When it started lightning, EVERYONE headed to vehicles.
The rain didn't last for long though, and we all came back out happy to discover our fire still blazing away. So we got back to our s'mores!

On our way home from camping, Andy spotted this amazing view so we all jumped out of our vehicles. You usually can see Garden of the God's from here, but instead it was completely covered with fog and clouds. It was beautiful!

The end of a fun weekend.
