Annual Fall Camping Trip 10/26 - 10/30/2011

While this isn't a traditional River Day post, we thought it would be appropriate to put up some pictures from our annual fall camping trip to Sherwood Lake in Greenbrier County, WV. The crew that makes it (most years anyway) camping is the usual group that celebrates River Day...plus a few extras. The pictures aren't in chronological order. The weather went from mild and rainy to snow, then really cold over the weekend. Most of the time was spent in and around the campsite, with a little Geocaching thrown in.

Enjoy the pictures!

We always have the best fire, wherever we are!

Thursday afternoon we were able to get in a few games of washer toss.
