Camping Adventures

[toosuto]

I went camping with my Da and sister for Father's day. I took pictures. They are in order in my Flickr account starting with this one...

Fun factoids and stories with most pictures!

Funny how utterly fake that picture looks. Sometimes geography is unreal.

Palouse Falls!

The very spot where stowellian, kisken, and lovecarnievan and I swam and risked life and limb scrabbling across rocks. It was lovely.

We almost lost kisken that day... I remember it well. One of the best trips.

Did you get to the base of the falls? Because we never did manage it...

[kisken.livejournal.com]

No. we were playing at the top of the falls. Hence the "we almost lost kisken that day". Although I sort of resent the idea that a trip on which I was almost lost was one of the "best" trips.

Curses! We tried but failed so badly. I feel a compulsion to return and find a way! If only we had asked the 8-10 people that came back up while we were at dinner on Friday night...

Hmmm... I see how those two sentences look bad together. But we didn't lose you, so it was all good. I also remember the last thing Ted said was to not wake up too quickly because the snakes and scorpions like to cuddle with warmth at night. It's a good thing there were so many stars to look at because it took me a loooong time to fall asleep.

I love that place. In addition, a large group of people spent an afternoon napping out there on the day after my 21st birthday. Or so it seems to me. Can anyone confirm or deny?

[lovecarnievan.livejournal.com]

I actually remember that, but I feel as though I am stealing someone else's memory, it's so vague.

That was absolutly the case. It sorta put an end to the "24 hours" of drinking, as people crashed for awhile. The groups was largely awakened by the sound of a mower, as a ranger came through mowing the grass. Joe thought she was cute.

That ranger has sadly been replaced by an overweight, aviator glasses wearing cliche and a limping, grouchy old man in a "Camp Host" vest.

Thus it is decided. I should like to descend upon Palouse Falls for my 31st birthday. The 24 hours of drinking shall be reduced to 4, and there shall be no mowers. Otherwise, all will be as it was 10 years ago.

july 29, 2006 people. Mark it down.

[k8cre8.livejournal.com]

Good plan. It has been so marked.

[kisken.livejournal.com]

Conveniently on a Saturday even. It's on the calendar.

[toosuto.livejournal.com]

We'll still be around here too. Cool.

[kisken.livejournal.com]

That would have been when Kate, Nick, Joe, and I all drove up there, and Nick and Kate drove home from. That was quite a festive trip, if I ignore the abrupt ending part.

[k8cre8.livejournal.com]

Indeed it was. Yes. quite a good trip.

The abrupt ending part, well, let's not do *that* again. Best to do as kisken suggests and ignore it.
