I'm HOME!

Okay, we got back from camping yesterday, and it was really AWESOME. Here are some of the pros:
I didn't have to share a trailer with my brother( I love him as a brother... he's just not the kind of person you want to share a trailer with for a week.)

Weather was perfect

I got to go kayaking AND snorkeling!!

The scenery was BEAUTIFUL

Now, there wasn't much of a downside, except that:

I got a dead crab dropped down my shirt. :( Ick.

The public bathrooms were closed because the septic tank was having problems. Instead, they had these porta-potties called "The Wizard of Ooze". Meep!

We had to drive down to the other campground to shower, and campground showers are RARELY clean. For those of you who don't know, Deception Pass State Park has two campgrounds; The smaller, quieter one, Bowman Bay, and the large, popular one, Cranberry Lake. The septic system at Cranberry Lake was fine, it was just Bowman Bay that had issues.

One thing that was REALLY cool was that there is a Nancy drew game (See previous post) called "Danger on Deception Island", and you could see Deception Island perfectly from the bach by our campsite! Another awesome thing was how you can get to the beach. You can take the boring old path, or you can CLIMB your way down. There is a small cliff that is covered in tree roots that you can use to hike down to the beach. My friend and I also found a "House" in the woods. The tree branches, rocks, and ground were forming rooms, hallways, beds, doors, and even a walk in closet! We had a basement, too, and even though a part of the "Staircase" caved in, you could still go down CAREFULLY, or just walk up from outside the back door. We even did an open house! My mom told me that she used to do that in the woods by her house in Des Moines, before she and her friends/siblings realized that a murderer had been hiding bodies a few miles away. TTFN!
