Camping with the Nor Cal Rabble

[walkerk]

Time for a nature walk. Finding another geocache was the excuse.



Summer is almost over and the colors are beginning to turn.







The Little Celtic Dancer finds the cache.



Cache booty goodness!

Back at camp, it was time to eat...







...and drink.

Next morning Way2Fractious took to wee ones fishing.





After striking camp, it was on to new adventures.




Bass Pro is a chain of sporting goods stores. As most of us live in urban environments, this would be a real change.



The store is massive. Only the Kaiser's hunting lodge would have more stuffed and mounted critters.

Indoor waterfalls.



A stream with live trout.

Need a GPS?

Having hiked through the store, it was time for refreshment. A stop at a nearby "Chili's" gave us all strength for the journey home.





Thanks everyone for another great weekend!

I missed that! Does the tent come in full size, too?

How much is this going to cost me to retrofit all my camping gear to match my Pink Death camo kilt?

I also have some pics to share. No blackmail in these....






....unless this counts, Richard?








Thanks so much for taking such good charge of the kids, Richard. We're lucky to have you in our lives.



Of course, you were off taking care of the kids when we got these shots:






From left to right: Scooby (wearing a kilt make by his father, Smayniac), Smayniac (wearing a kilt he made), Farlander (wearing a kilt he made), bunchdescendant (wearing a kilt he made), Panache (wearing a kilt made by AlanH)










Here are some more happy kid shots.


Wee Xena, fishing with her DIYer fishing pole:






Sinbad, playing chicken with the sprinklers in the day use area:









On that same "hike" (it was a pretty gentle stroll, actually), I had to show off as well.







Back at camp, walkerk and the Amazing Madalyn brought us lunch and spent the afternoon and evening with us.









More to come!

Be well,

[Smayniac]

I finally had a chance to sort and edit my pics from last weekend:


Scooby and the Bear

Oooooo fun. But where are the 'other' pictures. You know the blackmail teasers? ith:
