A quiet weekend away

The campgrounds opened this weekend, and since Dave and I like to be first (at everything), we bolted after work on Friday and headed out (or up I guess) for some peace and quiet.  We drove deep into Sierra National Forest to a campground we have never been to before, Bretz Mill.  The description on the website said there were only 10 sites, half were on the creek, and no water or electricity.  We hoped the remoteness would deter the faint of heart and only those serious about the peace and quiet would venture out for the weekend.  We were right.

We landed a beautiful campsite right on the water.  Falling asleep to rushing water was invigorating! Our weekend consisted of foil dinners, hamburgers, french toast, pancakes, smores, and lots of snacks.We took afternoon naps in the hammock, read by the fire, played a late night game of monopoly, and took a hike on Saturday that turned into a boat-making competition. We sailed our nature-made boats down the stream only to watch them get caught in a snag 50 feet down the creek. It was awesome, recharging, and the R &R that we needed.

Dave will probably kill me for posting one of these photos, but I told him to pose manly while chopping wood and it was too cute to pass up =)
