Well, this was all my big idea. I’ve been getting antsy sitting around the house, wanted to take a trip just the two of us that wouldn’t be very expensive. But I’m notorious for doing things like, going to the beach, when it’s obviously not the season yet. This was another one of those cases. It was an absolutely beautiful camp, out in Frazier park. There were tall pine trees everywhere. It was just past McGill campground (which is where my dad met that chipmunk we named “chippy” many years ago) and 8000ft up. Lets just say it got down to 34 degrees our first (and last!) night there. There was snow all over the ground about 4in thick, and we froze our butts off. We were totally unprepared for the bitter cold. My toes felt like they were going to fall off, Bryan’s too. The fire we made just wouldn’t stop smoldering, and around 10:30 we decided to just go to bed…unfortunately, thesmoke from the fire drifted into the tent, and now I feel like I got smoke inhalation poisoning!! But we should definitely go back when it’s warm (it was free, all you needed was an adventure pass) and it was beautiful and really close by. It’s a walk in camp (but if there hadn’t been snow this wouldn’t have been a very big deal). There are some trails around, but we didn’t stick around to explore, IT WAS SO COLD!
