Camping 1

Last July 23-25, Steven and I went camping. We met my former boss Danny and his wife Joan for lunch on the 23rd. It was a good time, they finally got to meet Steven. After lunch, we went to my father-in-law's workplace to get some wood for our campfire. He gave us really good woods and just enough for our stay there. Steven and I just plan to cook on fire and not use any gas stove. Then we went to get ice for our cooler and stored the meat and some of our food in it. Then our journey started.

It took us maybe 4 hrs to find the right spot for us. So many people went camping on the same day that the spots were full especially near Clear Lake where Steven can go fishing. So we had to go back and check other campground for opening. We finally decided to take The Paradise campground but their fishing rule is to catch and release. We can't keep the fish. Steven was disappointed. I was getting hungry and grumpy. Then when we got to our spot, it was a really nice one. It was secluded and we had a small stream of water on the side. This campground doesn't have shower just toilet and they have faucets all over so you can get clean water.

Steven started building the tent while I built the fire and started to barbeque pork chops for dinner. We brought rice with us. I then sliced some vegetables to go with it.

Dessert was smores. Then we went to sleep a couple of hours later. There was no light around the campground so it was really fun. We forgot to bring games with us.
The next day, after some really good breakfast we traveled to Cougar Reservoir to fish.

The view was stunning! The day was perfect for taking photographs.

This is the place where we went fishing but we didn't catch any. Then we traveled back to our camp and ate some late lunch.
