Weekend Camping Trip...

We left for our camping trip Friday afternoon. We went to the grocery store to pick up some last minute items such ICE, soft drinks, food, batteries, etc! We decided to go to Currant Creek Reservoir and arrived there around 6 or 7 PM. I'm not really sure what time it was because I didn't have a clock. We found a really nice little spot and decided to keep it. We set up our camp very quickly and immediately began working on our feast for the evening. Marc grilled hamburgers with cheese and tomato. It was so good. We also had baked beans with jalapenos .... Mmmmmm so yummy! And corn on the cob!

After dinner we cleaned up the mess and sat around the campfire that Marc built. It was nice and toasty. I really couldn't believe how cold it was up there at night. It even rained a few times while we were out and had to take cover in out tent! We both brought our books with us so we were able to catch up on some much needed reading.

Saturday morning we had home-made egg, bacon and cheese on English muffins. After clean up we headed down to the lake to do some fishing. We took our camp chairs with us (I don't really like sitting on the ground ... mainly because it takes me forever to get back up. The area we picked out for our fishing expenditure was way cool. There were little tiny minnows (redside shiners, to be exact) spawning in the rocks.

Here is a quick video that Marc taped:

The fishing wasn't too good, unfortunately. We ended up with a few nibbles and we could see the fish jumping out in the lake but they just were not biting. It was still fun though. I enjoy fishing. Even if it means not catching a fish!

We headed back to camp - I'm still not sure of the time but it seemed close to dinner time. Saturday night we made chicken curry with rice! It had coconut milk in it along with green and yellow peppers, potatoes, mushrooms, onions and it was amazing tasting! I loved it! I definitely pigged out on it.

Right after dinner it decided to rain so once again back for shelter in the tent. We began reading our books and then it stopped raining. Marc went back out by the campfire and read and I stayed in the tent nicely snuggled in my sleeping bag, book light and book. Before I knew it I was sound asleep.

Sunday morning we slept in (I think) Still not sure of the time. Marc began breakfast. We enjoyed scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. We had to sit in the shade due to me getting yet another sunburn on my brand new healed skin (shoulder's are the worst) They actually have blisters. I don't know, it just didn't seem hot enough to get sunburned. I was wrong again.

We began cleaning up and packing things away in the truck. We decided to take a different route back home which was mostly gravel and dirt roads. It was very scenic and we saw a few deer, pot belly chipmunks ....

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. No television, no phones, no one to bother us and just the relaxation of nature.
