Camping

Patrick and I have started a new hobby. It has been a lot of fun to obtain items for our hobby. The new hobby is CAMPING!!!!!

On Memorial Day Weekend, we went out to Pine Lake, in Westfield, with 2 other couples from our small group. Pine Lake (Wildwood) has been a favorite camping spot for my family. I have been camping there at least twice a year for the past 15 years!  Patrick and I had a blast, this camping trip, despite the cold weather, and forgetting many items (pillows, tarp, hot dogs...and the list goes on). On the camping trip, Pat and I stayed patient with each other and worked as a team to complete the tasks around camp. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it! Well all, expect being woken up at 5 a.m. from the neighbor woodpecker. I was also able to take my friend fishing! We both caught one fish. We went hiking and attempted the ropes course, as well.

On the way to camp!!!

 Pine Lake cut down trees that were dead and diseased. The once wooded, isolated campground is now clear and visible. The campground does not look the same as it used to. The pictures show all the trees down and the piles of wood that still need to be cleared out.

This used to be a campsite.
