First Camping Trip By Ourselves

Our very first camping trip. I was so excited to finally go camping, I waited all summer long. I finally convinced Keo it would be a good weekend to go. We packed the car Thursday night so that we could leave right after work Friday. We drove around to a few campgrounds outside Sisters, OR, but all sites were either reserved or taken. The campgrounds were also extremely crowded. Then just when we were questioning our spontaneous camping trip we came across Jack Creek Campground. A very secluded camping area next to a babbling creek. Jack Creek was only $10 a night too, perfect! We drove around the loop and chose our site... #9. The camping area only had a few campers too, so it was so quiet and peaceful.



Keo quickly put up our tent while I built our first fire and got dinner together. We had hot dogs the first night with baked beans cooked in the can and about 1,000 toasted marshmallows. We spent the first night sitting in our camp chairs staring at the stars keeping an eye out for shooting star. We fell fast asleep to the sounds of the creek. The next morning after a good nights sleep on our air mattress we built another fire and cooked a delicious breakfast. We had eggs, home fries, toast and BACON! we never have bacon at home!! After breakfast we took off exploring. We drove up to a trail head on top of a mountain and found the mother-load of firewood. No more scavenging for dead wood around campsite woods. The second night was basically a repeat of the first except we had cheese burgers instead of hot dogs. All in all I am looking forward to our next camping trip of the summer.
