Happy Campin'

Last weekend we met our friends from Eugene at Detroit Lake for the final camping trip of the season. Having never camped there before, we were pretty pleased. We had a great location with a view of the lake, nearby bathrooms and a playground. The 90 degree weather was the best we'd had camping all summer, perfect for taking a dip into the lake. No rain fly needed on the tent. We kept it easy and ordered pizza in Detroit for dinner. There was a wicked forest fire mere miles away so a huge helicopter lowered itself ominously and often. Thankfully we were not evacuated. I was hoping for a clear and starry night to enjoy with the girls and we got it! And now, the gear gets stored away for another season. Thanks guys for a great trip!
