There were 8 of us that ended up going:
That's Justin, Brenda, Lisa, Me, Andrea, Jamie, Jodi, and Tim. Yep, Brenda brought a tripod. We camped on the beach right near a babbling brook. We took 6 4-wheelers and 3 tents. Me and Lisa shared the little blue one.
We built a fire, cooked some hotdogs and marshmallows, and took to our sleeping bags. I was pretty warm in my 2 pairs of wool socks, parka, snowpants, 3 hats, and sleeping bag rated for 0 degrees. But my nose was still cold. When we woke up this morning there was a layer of ice on the outside of our tents. Here's Brenda, she's pretty happy looking for just waking up.
Then you turn around and see the most amazing sunrise ever:
I love this picture of Jamie, pancakes can change your life. This is proof:
Andrea, Lisa and Brenda wait patiently for the most delicious food they will ever taste:
We had pancakes, eggs and coffee for breakfast. We packed up all the tents and gear and took to beach trail. On the way back I quickly stopped to take a shot of this waterfall, pretty impressive, right?
The trip went off without a hitch, but not without a few humorous moments:
-me, falling down trying to get Brenda's 4-wheeler to pull start.
-Lisa, falling on me when she was trying to get into the tent.
-the bunch of us jumping like spiderman to cross the creek
-Lisa, almost floating away in the river when we were crossing on our 4-wheelers
-me, my snowpants getting a giant hole burnt in them from standing right behind Andrea's 4-wheeler when it backfired. (I'm fine)
So there you have it, group camping trip that worked out great. No one died and everyone was pretty happy.
Now back to reality, I get to work for the next 5 days. Bleh.
