So, like I said, I hadn't been camping in somewhere around 10 years. But this weekend was AMAZING! I loved it, the freedom, the fresh air, the lack of time constraints. It was just wonderful.
Now, for my first picture heavy post, here are some shots of the drive up to the campsite:
|
Driving in the countryside |
|
|
It's so beautiful |
|
|
On both sides :) |
|
Believe it or not, we're going around 80-90kph, and this is with a camera phone |
|
As you can see by the occasionally blurry spots |
|
But some are super clear :) |
|
So much green! Love it! |
|
And some shots of the campsite and the river, which had some GORGEOUS rapids right next to our site. It was fantastic:
|
Red flowers by the river |
|
Purple flowers on rocks in the middle of the river |
|
Red flowers on the other side of the river |
|
The tiny silver speck on that rock is a pretty little dragonfly, who (with his many kin) kept me mostly safe from those evil deerflies :) |
|
One of the many frogs I saw |
|
|
Just chillin in the river, keeping an eye |
|
One of the rapids, with a little bit of sea foam |
|
More purple flowers, so pretty |
|
Decent shot of the rapids |
|
Closer shot of the rapids |
|
Looking down the river from the middle of the rocks |
|
Sitting in these rapids was like sitting in a jacuzzi that only blows one way, soo cool |
|
Calm river shot as the sun begins to set |
|
Shot down the other way from the rapids as the sun sets |
|
|
And our glorious campfire that kept us warm and relatively bug free, unfortunately these shots are all after the sun has set, so they don't quite embody the awesome that was the fire:
All in all, had a fantastic time, swimming in the lake, up and down the river. I can't wait to do it again!
