Hurricane Lake

Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll! I hope everyone had a great holiday and ate lots of food. We did! We got together with two other couples, so the meal prep wasn't quite so overwhelming since we could split it up. Everything was delicious and the company was even better!

The next day, John and I went camping up to Hurricane Lake, which is about an hour from us. It was pretty chilly, but not bad, especially after the fire was started. John really showed his scouting skills lighting that fire. We realized after the fire just wouldn't start that the firewood we had bought that day had been drenched when it rained two days before. But with determination, John finally got it blazin' hot! It was really fun to go camping with just the two of us -- we were going to go with two other couples, but they bailed out on us because they thought it was going to be too cold, and they were scared of the alligators. They missed out -- It was such a pretty campsite!


Can you see all the birds in a row! There were hundreds of them all lined up across the pond. I wonder where they were going? It reminded me of the Little Ducklings.

Ok, so that's not really a sign you like to see when you're camping on the edge of the lake, with a nice swampy edge a few feet from your tent. But I'm pretty sure alligators don't like hot dogs or s'mores, so I wasn't too worried.
