I found some old pictures from our camping trip at Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. That was one of the stops we made when we were making our journey back to Utah from Maryland. I actually really liked that place. We hardly saw anybody there. I just wish we had more time.
I believe I have mentioned before but when we were getting ready to leave Maryland there was a storm that took out our power for two days right before we were supposed to get out of our apartment. The power came back on Sunday morning the day we were supposed to leave. There were a lot of things I did not see the days before in the dark so I had a lot of extra cleaning to do. I also got to vacuum! It also was very hard to work in the Maryland heat which made us a lot slower. We also lost internet service where we needed to give our couch away and other items. Luckily in the nick of time a neighbor had a truck and a few more people to help us lift the couch and drop it off at Goodwill.
Anyways, with the power problem we were not able to leave until later which cut our camping trips time up by a lot. We were supposed to have time to hike that day but we did not get there until it was getting dark. It was kind of funny it was dark and we were told to get to the camping site was going to be a vigorous trek. So here we are in this new place carrying all are camping gear in the dark and we can't see much all we see is a field and a mountain with a trail. We walk through the field and then up the mountain Dane thinks we missed the camping ground and it must have been in the field below. I think that that was not vigorous enough so it must be somewhere in the mountains. We hike further and eventually Dane says to wait there while he runs down the mountain to reexamine the field. So I do, it turns out he was right. So that whole hike with our gear was a waste of energy.
The pictures don't give this place justice. It was gorgeous! Especially the field and the mountain transition. The field looked like this magical fairy place ( the nice kind of fairies) and then the mountain looked like this dark mysterious forest.
After we left Ohio our next stop was my Grandparent's house in Boone, Iowa. It was really nice to see them. The food was great! It was really hot.
When we left Iowa we were supposed to stop at this campsite that my Grandparents suggested. Which I can't remember now I will have to ask somebody. We didn't make it because the car Dane was driving lost air condition It was 104 degrees fahrenheit outside we had to stop at a BMW shop in Nebraska which took a long time. By the time we got to the campground there was nobody there to register for our campsite. It was pretty sad we ended up staying at a Motel 6 a few cities later which ended up costing us about $40 more. I love camping because it is fun and and cheaper than a hotel.
