First Camping Trip

We went on our first camping trip this last weekend and it was wonderful. We were up in Pike National Forest. We stayed at South Meadows Campground near Woodland Park Colorado. This campground was a decent size, having approximently 60 different lots. It was well kept and the bathrooms were as clean as possible considering they were nothing more than OutHouse type buildings. We were able to have several campfires. We enjoyed eating Breakfest burritos and Hambergers made over the campfire, which I might add I can think of no better way to cook or no better tasting way to eat breakfest burritos. We went on a walk with the dogs around the camp ground and around the near by Manitu Lake. We were definetly out of cellphone range, but we were only 5 miles outside of town which was good because when I realized I had forgotten stuff for S'Mores we were able to go into town to the grocery store and by the stuff that was needed. It got cold at night, even for the dogs so we all had to cuddle together in order to stay warm. We know that we will definetly be going camping again and we can't wait. To be able to be up there away from cell phone, tv, and computers. Not having to worry about what todo next or what has to be done. To truly be able to relax amidst the trees and even having to deal with the random rainstorm that makes you flee to your tent salvaging as much of the food and firewood as you can on the way was excellent. I am attaching some pictures.
