This year we are taking a smaller vacation in hopes of saving up for a beach vacation in the next year or 2. We are going to Smith Falls to camp for 5 days. 6 people, 1 dog in a tent for 4 nights and 5 days. Wish us Luck!
So, Robb had decide that Smith Falls was about 3.5 hours away. Turns out it was more like 5 hours away. This put a little kink in the plans because we got there right at dusk.
This year has been so wet and rainy with so much flooding. At one point in the highway it went to 1 lane and it said caution water over road. A semi was ahead of us and it looked fine. When we went over in the van it started to feel not fine! I was terrified water was going to start coming in the doors. Pretty sure they caution you about never driving in water that deep. Yikes!
This is a primitive camping area so there are no parking spots right by your tent. You have to carry everything in! We bring a lot of stuff!
This is our new and excessive tent. Why not have 14 person tent if you will be staying in it for 5 days.
The night was interesting, it started to sprinkle and we had a hard time getting the fire going very good. We ate half cold hotdogs and chips in the tent. It was windy and slightly stormy through the night but the tent held up. No one slept very good except for Emerson. She had burrowed herself deep in her sleeping bag and slept great.
It is beautiful out here!
