Our utter lack of camping in 2015 has us determined to get outside in Summer 2016. Friday I spent a good deal of time pulling together camping gear and being as organized and prepared as could be to head out into the woods as soon as mr. Bejos arrived home from work.
Truck loaded, we headed to the woods only to be disappointed and discouraged as predetermined spot after spot, in the woods just up the street, turned out to be occupied. And then the prescribed burns had forced closures left and right. Moment by moment our enthusiasm waned. Verdict? We headed home to spend the night in our own beds. We refused, however, to unpack the truck. Mother Nature validated our decision by ushering in a wicked and unpredicted thunder storm that night, complete with high winds and lightning.
Saturday morning we awoke with a new perspective and renewed vigor to find the spot. And it paid off! We discovered a new little spot in the woods, a mere handful of miles from our home, but seemingly a world away.
