camping in prescott

This weekend we went camping in prescott with al and jeremy. it was was my first "real" camping experience, meaning no bathrooms. i had to walk a quarter mile to go to the bathroom in the bushes, but i have to say it wasn't that bad.

when we first got there, i saw al and jeremy setting up their tent and it was the typical blue/grey square shaped tent. i expected ours to be the same. when bj started getting out his tent i laughed so hard! you cant tell from this picture but bjs is small and a skinny rectangle shape.... and its purple. he defended it saying that it is super lightweight for times when we backpack 10 miles during the day with the tent on our back (hopefully that never actually happens). he claims its a grey tent with "purple trimmings" .....whatever you say beej ;-).

this is us on our supposed to be "2 mile hike". the guys at the camp site next to ours told us that the lake was about a 2 mile hike away. they were a little drunk so that should of been our first clue that their prediction may not be accurate. round trip it ended up being about an 8 mile hike, which wasn't so bad bc the weather was so nice.
these guys had so much fun. the hike wore their paws out and they could hardly get around the next day.

it was a really fun trip with GREAT weather. bj was totally in his element and loved every second of it. his dream vacation is probably something along the lines of man vs wild, while mine is somewhere with a beach and a mall in close range. hopefully next time we will meet in the middle and simply have bathrooms near by :-)

Glad you had fun! I must admit, I'm not exactly the camping type. I like the IDEA of camping, but when it comes down to it, I definitely want to have a bathroom with a light and running water :-).
