Camping at Jordanelle

Just before school was out, we headed up for a 2 day camping trip to Jordanelle.  It is a large campground, with full hookups and we had been there before several years ago and were impressed with how much the trees and bushes had grown, making it a very pretty place to camp.










We were in site 100 this time which had great views of the lake.



Roughing it in our Cabella chairs!

Watched a few movies....

Minors' came out to spend a fun meal with us.  

There was a rowing competition at the lake this weekend.




Usually we enjoy the sound of  rain on the roof when we are camping....however, this little problem didn't become apparent until this trip when the 2m rain started to drip in the back room.  So we put a pan to catch the rain and went back to sleep.  When we got home, Kent was able to tighten a few screws that had gotten lose and the problem was fixed.  It has rained several times since and no leaks!

Ponderosa Camping

Last weekend (July 17-18) we made another trip up to one of our favorite spots to camp, Ponderosa.  This time we were in site 13, a long and narrow site but with plenty of room and a beautiful creek to listen to in the back.   No hookups, but the generator worked quite well with the slideout and whatever else we needed.  The weather was nice and refreshing after a very hot week.

A little ways down the road we notice a wild turkey and her young.  So cute....for turkeys that is.


Our guests for dinner that night (dutch oven ribs, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, salad and smores) were the Minors', the Freemans', and we "adopted" a very cute older couple who were camping next us, Ralph and Mary.  The kiddos played games and we all had a great time.

Thought it would be fun to put the 2 pictures together.  Kids have grown a tad!
