This year's Fall Camping Trip post is a little later than usual - lots of pics to sort through, and had to wait on my photo editor for the final touch.
As always, the trip was a great success. The weather was a little colder than we've had in the last several years, dropping to 18 degrees one night (almost a record). We did have access to electricity at our camp sites, so staying warm wasn't too much of a problem. And let's not forget the best fire in the campground.
We camped at Blue Bend Recreational Area this year, due to Sherwood being closed for our time window. With the exception of Mike, the place worked out great. We were the only ones there for the most part, excluding the suspected fugitives.
In addition to the usual group - Jay, Ted, Tim, Pat and Mark - we also had Timmy (Tim's son) and Matt (Pat's son). This was Matt's first time to take part in the trip. Hope he enjoyed spending part of his leave with us. I'm pretty sure David was with us as well.
Once again instead of trying to give a "blow by blow" of the activities on the trip, I'll let the pictures tell the story. I've tried to post them in chronological order, but there are a few that will be a little out of "order". There were well over a hundred pics taken this year, so I've tried to pare it down a little by getting rid of duplicates. Oh, and there's a bonus video at the end of the pics. Be sure to check it out.
I think I speak for everyone else in stressing how important this tradition has become for all of us. May it last well into the future!
