Backpacking
Ok, so I haven't been camping in many many moons, so this was a great chance for me to recharge and have some fun.
I was in a group of 6, and we treked 5 miles on friday afternoon, made camp, and then slept. Saturday morning, we took off and hiked 8 miles to another marina, and because one our crew members had a sprained ankle, we caught a pontoon boat back to the camp, or as close as we could get, which was 5 miles. So, after the 13 miles on saturday, we had to wake up really early sunday to rendevous with the other group at 9am.
The Daylight savings time was a welcome change, because we got extra sleep on a night we needed it most.
And trying to find who won Game 5 of the World Series was a chore. I had to ask 6 people before I found out on Sunday morning that the St. Louis Cardinals are the World Champions of Baseball.
All in all, it was the most fun I've had camping in a really long time, and I'm ready to plow back into school and work, because I'm starting a job today.

Hey so how early did you get up cause I know you guy came by are camp at 6:30 am that was annoying
It was a great campout! Glad to hear you had fun! And Joel we woke at 5...
Joel, it was indeed 5. Unless you were like me, and planned on waking up at 4:45, so I set my alarm for that time, thinking my phone would automatically change. No dice. And it was COLD at 3:45am.
And you guys slept in very late, it was our duty to wake you from your slumber.
