Camping attempt #2

The second camping attempt with my sister was up to Metaline Falls. It's my new favorite place around here for camping stuff. This time wasn't as successful but we did some fun things. Here is the highlight. We found a random "toilet" in the middle of the woods where we were playing in the river....and yes, we used it :)

We ended up getting rained out on friday night and went back home before we even set up camp. We came back up on saturday and played at the river and made our campfire dinner. Here's me and the little boys building our fire to cook our foil dinners on. They were good little helpers and even helped find sticks and logs! And of course they helped blow on the fire to get it going, and were SO EXCITED when the flames started :)
Here's Scott and Alan in the river in a little rapid place that you could float down. This was scott demonstrating how to jump in the little hole to float down the river in. I'm not sure if alan ever tried it :) It was pretty cold that day


The boys building a dam or something.....


Lane showing me his muscles.....arm floaties and all :)
Playing in the river

There are some caves up in Metaline falls that we went too, more on those later, but you can "hike to canada" from them. Here we are on the US/Canada border.

The boys on the border. The sign said "warning. US border"...yadda yadda....pretty securely kept border crossing :)

Here's some of the cave. It's actually a guided tour that lasts about 15 mins. A little dissapointing compared to the spilunking that I used to do in Columbus with my friends....oh well. the boys thought it was fun

Me and scott checking out the campsite. This was when we decided to call it quits and go home :)

Here's some waterfalls that we played in. I forget what they are called... but they are pretty fun :)
