Camping August 17, '08

All of these photos, except for the first one, were taken in the Olympic National Forest outside of Montesano, Washington.


Here we are on I-5 in Dupont, WA. We had planned to camp at the same site we camped at last time, but once we got there, someone else was already camping there!!!!	We ended up driving everywhere we had been before, along with a few new places!!! There were other campers in all of the other cool camping spots, and there were people all over the Wynoochee area. This is the Upper Wynoochee River, from the bridge near the heliopad.	After even more driving around, and much of the day later, we decided to try the Pederson Creek Lake, and we were glad we did. There were too many people in the Wynoochee area, and this is a beautiful and quiet area.

We got our camp site set up! It was a very hot day outside!!!	Do not eat the berries found behind the tent!!!	BBQ Cheeseburger Time- Ymmm!!!

This old log is bigger around than a person is tall!!!	Can you find the cute woodpecker in this photo? It has a girlfriend nearby- awwwww!!!!	The far end of Pederson Lake.

I really like how the trees are reflected in the water, yet you can see the log in the bottom of the lake. The flower at the right is along the shore in the foreground.	Pederson Lake.	There are a lot of salamanders in this photo!! You can see them better by clicking on the photo to bring up the larger picture!

Look Mom, here are my new camping shoes I got from Amazon.com! I wanted to try out my water shoes, but the water looked a bit too stagnate to be very inviting- LOL!!!!		Wheee!!!! Dawn as a passenger at 45 miles per hour!!!! Thankfully we got our car packed up early because it started to rain a bit after that- LOL!!! An excellent camping trip was had by all, and we had fun tracing routes on our new GPS unit!!!!
