Weekend two of Skamper camping is in the books... and with that we are done camping for the year. Most places will be shutting down the bathrooms this weekend or next weekend.

Rolled in last Thursday and got it set up.







It was getting cool and dark so we ate our pork chops in the camper.



After everyone else went to bed I went back out and did some photoshop by the campfire. Really relaxing, makes me wish wood burning fireplaces were more practical.



@Poppa_R came down to tent camp with us Friday. He also brought his canoe which unfortunately we did not secure the correct life jackets until after it was too late to go out.



Surf n turf for Supper



We keep getting this butter braid things for fundraisers for Oliver's daycare... so I had the brainy idea about trying one in a dutch oven. So I broke it half Friday night, put it in the oven and threw the whole works on the floorboard of the Ranger to proof over night.



And finished the night with another fireside photoshop.



Saturday's breakfast proofed nicely overnight.







Just a little too much heat on the bottom, adding to the list for camp breakfast ideas though.

Getting the Halloween Decore set up.



Then they had a chili contest for lunch. You go around and dish it in your cup and put money in the cup of our favorite. How much? Until it feels right. Money goes to improving the park, it is a state park but they help with improvements. Like now they are putting in a new playground etc.



Then we went for a hike around the lake, we only did like a fourth of the trail but it got kinda warm and little legs got kinda tired.

Probably a couple reasons but trick or treating in the daylight seems kind of weird.

I decided to call the guy in the outhouse "Gump", No reason in particular, just feels right.



Then after dark we went around and looked at everything again.

































Finished off last night with more editing.



Today was just pack up and get home, not much for pictures.
