Camping at McCroskey S.P.

Saturday afternoon, Greg, Dixie and I headed back out to St. Joe National Forest to camp at McCroskey State Park with our friend Brian. We just stayed one night, but it was nice to get out for awhile...and the weather was fantastic. Greg and I slept in the back of the truck (Dixie had her own suite in the extended cab) and we even had to open up the back glass because it was so warm. Once again, there were no wildlife sightings. We did play some frisbee golf, roasted marshmallows (for breakfast even), and ate well! Greg always claims the only reason to go camping is for the food. We had plenty of it. Our brunch on Sunday morning consisted of fried eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, and a fruit medley. That's fancier than we eat at home! Unfortunately, I had planned to run the 6 miles back to the main road after we packed up. The big, greasy breakfast didn't set too well, but I made it and it was so nice to run through all the trees instead of through town or at the gym.

First things first...food!

Showin' off the muscles. We all had a go at cutting firewood.

If he can laugh, he must not be working hard enough!

Sweeping up pine needles to help out the fire. This was Greg's brilliant idea.

Dixie takes her turn using the "broom." Watching us work wears her out.

Sleepy head. Full fledged daylight arrives around 5am out here!

Apparently she wasn't well-rested after sleeping in her private quarters.

Marshmallows for breakfast. This is the life!
