Some of the fun people I camped with.  We all wore Red, white and blue because it was someone's birthday who happens to have those colors in her trailer.  It was wild with laughter.  We all went out to dinner like this and then sat around a campfire at night.  We slept in our vintage trailers out on the lawn.

Camping on the River on the Pend Oreille

This was the backdrop for a great campout with girlfriends.  A friend of a friend invited me to come and camp on the river and of course I said "Yes".  Nothing is better than camping.  You get to sit by a fire at night and listen to the sounds of nature.  You get to talk and bond with other women and find out that you are not alone in the universe with your passions, interests, hopes, dreams, and doubts.  It is a wonderful time filled with laughter and sometimes happy tears.  I love it!  It has created me into the happy camper girl I am today!

Camping soon on Pond Oreille River to come.

Camping with girlfriends!

Christmas in September!

I went camping at my girlfriend's house.  Karen had a Christmas theme and we all decorated our vintage trailers like Christmas was soon to arrive.  We had a little tree outside with twinkly lights.  All of us girls (about 8 or so) made or brought ornaments for the tree.  Santa came and passed out gifts to all of us.  We had a potluck one night and went out to dinner for the other night.  The days were warm enough to get some sun and play in the hose.  It just goes to show you that you can have any theme and still the party will go on and on!  How fun is Glamping.

Heading out to the open road.

Camping in September

I am getting ready to go on another campout at my friend Karen's house.  We are going to have a Christmas theme.  How fun!  I have the car all packed for my staging of my trailer.  Pictures soon to come!  Whooo Hoooo!

Kayaking is a way for me to get away and have some solitude.  I like to go for a paddle by myself and think big thoughts.  I guess I am a bit of a philosopher at times, thinking of new ways of doing things, making things or just thinking about life in general.  I live in a beautiful state filled with adventure.  It is a great place to overcome your fears.  Fear of the deep water or of bears or snakes or dark water or just the unknown.  You have to embrace life and meet it head on so no fear is in you.  You just become clear with no baggage of the world, just happiness and freedom.  I love to feel free, free from the cares of this world, that is why I love the water so much,  it makes me free when I look at it.

Went Kayaking!

Right around the corner to where I live is a beautiful lake, Lake Pend Oreille is huge, and covers over 43 miles in length.  It is over 1150 feet deep and it is 5th largest in the U.S.  I love to go Kayaking on this lake.  My Kayak is a current designs Vision 150 about 15 feet long.

Campng in Perfect Weather!

Sometimes you don't always get to camp in perfect weather so make sure you have a list just in case of rain or snow.  I will get to camp soon but right now there is still snow on the ground.
