Gary and I went camping this weekend. We went up to Oklahoma to Chickasaw National Recreation area. I've been before and I think it's a nice campsite. We did have fun, but there were a few problems to deal with...
1) The extremely loud/drunk group in a nearby campsite the first night. We moved the second night because of them and we did so in the laziest way possible. We didn't take down the tent, we simply lifted it up and carried it down the road to a new site. I'm sure we looked a little silly, but it worked out pretty well.
2) It was just a tad bit chilly at night, 50 degrees the first night and 52 degrees the second night. One more blanket probably would have done the trick.
3) We took our bikes and did some cycling... but gosh those hills about kicked my butt. It was very hilly. I did get up to 30 mph on a downhill and actually had to use my breaks... fearing how fast I would be going otherwise. I'd hate to hit a rock at that speed and lose control.
4) I did the packing and actually managed to forget chairs. Oops! At least there was a picnic table on the campsite, but that's not exactly ideal for sitting by the campfire.
All in all though, it was fun and I started making a list on my computer of "things to take camping" so that I wouldn't forget important things like chairs, soap and cups next time. :-)
