                       Camping, August 17-19, 2009                     

 

 

 

We had an excellent camping trip outside of Montesano, WA.

We were invited by the Shaver Family and had an excellent  time!

 

Tom was able to secure a large camping spot on private private property

along the Wynoochee River, just outside the Olympic National Forest.

It was a very clean camp site with tiki lights set up and even a port-a-potty!

 

We had about 8 different tents set up at the peak of our trip,

with a central covered area set up for food preparation and such.

 

We had hoped to see the Perseid Meteor Shower, but the weather was

far too cloudy to see any stars.

 

It was also a bit too cool to get much time in the water,

yet an excellent time was had by all!

This trip was an easy drive for even Grandma and Grandpa's van, with just short driveway off the paved road.

Peter and Sandy visited too!

 

 

This is private property on the Wynoochee River.

 

I like how the sky reflects

on the water.

Interesting how the light transitions from back to front.

Some leaves in the river.

 

 

 

I think these are oyster shells in the water.

The colors of the shore are reflected nicely.

 
It was interesting how the camera captured things differently than what I was seeing, but I was able to come up with some interesting results anyway! Ooops, we never did get any pictures of the camp or of my fellow campers! It was starting to get dark when I held the shutter open for a bit.
