Camping at Collins Lake

A few weeks back, a few of us went camping up at Collins Lake. We had a really great time. I probably won't go back there again only because I think it's geared more towards those with trailers and boats and it's all dirt. I'm used to coastal camping where there's less dirt and rock and more green. Nevertheless, Loren, Leanna, J-Mo, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!



Needless to say, we had A LOT of stuff. J-Mo sat in the back and was buried with camping gear...




Here's our little campsite -




Our boat...


Here's Lexie moving our "boat" from one side of the campground to the other, closer to one side of the lake -


As you can see, we had kabobs and kaginas one night for dinner. YUMM!!





The next day, we decided to go to the part of the lake that wasn't so populated...and just plain closer to our campsite. From our campsite, we walked the "boat" down to the lake. Then we crossed the lake to the dock. Here's Leanna in her River Rat...





Here's our "boat" in our docking station. We're thinking that we were probably not supposed to be near the dock since the gate to the dock where one can walk in was locked. Good thing we didn't waste our time walking! We floated to the dock and kicked it there for a few hours. I'm sure we must have looked like dorks sitting in our raft in a docking station.







Whatever! We had loads of fun, entertaining ourselves with books and dives and swimming! Don't worry, those crazy Twilight reader still managed to have their books with them on the raft and at the dock! SHEESH! Harry Potter will beat up your vampires anyday!

Dawson's Creek had nothin' on us! "I don't want to wait, for our lives to be over..."

Here's where we didn't want to have to float back to shore so we walked the raft to the gate thinking we could open it from within. WRONG! We had to raft ourselves around the gate. Again, probably looked like dorks but we had a great time doing so!

Nothing like having our cars IN our campsite! Here are two vampires reading their Twilight or New Beginnings or whater the heck it is.





Here is J-Mo and I eating our $2 ice cream! That was definitely the best thing they've got going there! If only Baskin Robbins could reconsider offering two very large scoops as "single scoops" for $2...
