So camping was quite the trip!
We got a pretty good start and after I slept in the car along the way for a good hour we arrived at the campground around 1pm-ish. We being Sara, Tanya, Brad, Nate, Erin and I. Shortly after, Greg, Gordo, Murray, Jon, and Alex showed up. After some problems locating our sites due to Brad Slavin's name being mispelled Slaeir and not Brady, we headed down to the lake to go for a swim.
It turned out the lake had been flooded and the beach was underwater. Also, the picnic tables were floating. We spend most of our swim time out on the raft floating in the lake. I went back there and swan at least once each day except the morning we packed up to leave.
Anyways, the first day dragged on and Rob failed to make an appearance with his truck and most of our supplies and all of our food. You see, he had stayed behind to drive Jess and Adam and didn't have his truck until later in the day in order to load everything up because for some reason it was left in Langley. So he showed up at 1:30am long after the park gates were closed. Many of us didn't eat between 9:30am Friday and 6:30am Saturday except for a rice cracker or cookie or two. Rob, Jess and Adam had help from a park ranger to get some stuff into the campground but ended up at the Brady site until morning.
Complaining over with, the trip was a lot of fun. We had a ton of food aside from that day, continually making more than we needed. It was really good food too. I took a bunch of photos, played a bunch of games, and swam a lot.
Sara had never slept in a tent before when camping, and I think she had a lot of fun. Before the trip we had gone out and bought a tent and sleeping bag and air mattress to share and that was definitely a good idea.
